INSPIRING WOMEN
Women
Having just recently celebrated Women’s Month, we decided to
collect a few stories of hugely inspirational women in the running
world that deserve recognition for all that they do and have
achieved. – BY MANFRED SEIDLER & SEAN FALCONER
That Inspire
Colleen McNally
Get to any race on a Saturday morning in the
Gauteng North Province or Sundays in Central
Gauteng, and you will see the busy figure of
Colleen McNally hustling around, sorting
out, answering questions, helping out,
even dishing out coffee (when she is not
drinking coffee, that is), and generally
making herself useful. Her enthusiasm
is infectious, and everyone who comes
into contact with her is soon inspired,
and almost always leaves with a smile.
When she isn’t at work as a teacher
or at home doing motherly and
grandmotherly duties, this race referee,
administrator and volunteer also serves
on the Road Running Commission
