ADVERTORIAL The Nedbank Runners’ Guide to Road and Off-Road Races in South Africa celebrates its 28th edition in 2019. Compiled by well known running author and racing guru Tom Cottrell, this book has been around long enough, and has been read by enough runners, to earn its affectionate title, ‘The Runners’ Bible.’ It is the essential guide for anyone who wants to do some racing in 2019. T om lists well over 850 races in detail in the new guide, including all the old favourites, as well as a collection of new road and off-road runs, with well over 300 new route profiles added this year. All the essential information is there: Date, time and venue, plus the contact details are comprehensive and well researched. In many instances the entry details are given as well. Also look out for comprehensive course descriptions to go with the handy route profiles – essential information when planning to run a good race – and Tom’s editor’s notes add further info. Some history of the race is given, as well as time limits and how many runners finished the race last year. All in all, this is a publication that goes a long way to fill any information gaps there may be in road running. GET YOUR COPY! The 2019 Runner’s Guide is available in leading book trade outlets, including Exclusive Books, as well as leading sports outlets such as The Sweat Shop and Sportsmans Warehouse.
