Tonight a new award was handed to a very worthy recipient

A kind Member donated this new award: The Julian Ohlson Memorial Award in honour of the late, great Witbul, a titan of the running community. Tonight it was handed over to it's first recipient - a man who runs with as much heart as the wonderful Julian did - Bertie Cloete.

The club was honoured to have Julian's family present to hand it over. His legacy lives on not only in this plaque, but in the hearts of so many and the miles we will run with him on our minds. We run with heart. We run with Julian.

Congratulations to Bertie, who will lead the club in the Witbul spirit and feet of faith! ... See more

AGF is presenting this amazing fundraising, lupus awareness campaign for 2021:

CEDERBERG BIKING ADVENTURE

And you can get involved by:

*SPONSORING A RIDER (Individual or Corporate)
*PASSING THIS ONTO YOUR CONTACTS

We are using the sports platform in wide open, safe spaces to educate the public about lupus with 20 very brave riders who are up for the challenge!

This 4-day Traverse of the beautiful Cederberg will include never-before experiences as they volunteer to live for more than themselves, by replicating the quiet strength, fortitude, and dignity of those afflicted by SLE.

In order to do so, every rider will carry on themselves or their bike, everything they need for four days in the mountains – clothing, food, water, tent/bivouac and sleeping bag, cooking equipment, phone, shoes and sunblock, etc. This is so they will be a reflection of those with SLE, who have to contain within themselves everything that is needed to fight this disease – the strength to ignore being misunderstood and maligned as a hypochondriac, going to work every day despite every joint aching, despite not knowing if or when the next traumatic and embarrassing seizure will occur, despite chronic headaches, extreme fatigue, paper-thin skin which makes handling paper feel like being cut by razors, despite having to take a cocktail of medicine every day, schedule 6 medicine that has multiple unpleasant side-effects, and despite, in many cases, their disease having been misdiagnosed for years. Often-times they are abandoned by their family and friends, left to die a mortifying death in unkempt public hospitals.

Every pedal stroke will be a reminder that they are riding for Lupus Warriors.

Join us from 7-11 April 2021 for a ride to discover your soul anew.

Goodbye is never easy!

It is with great sorrow that we say goodbye to a titan of our club, Julian Ohlson - a friend, a quiet leader, a teacher, a gentleman, and a constant inspiration. So many of us are better runners - and people - for knowing him. What a privilege it has been.

This is profound loss for the running community and we will miss him dearly. Our deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Rest in peace, Witbul. ... See more
