We apologise for the delay in responding to the initial enquiries and feedback
that were caused by a technical glitch with the automated e-mail notification that is currently being sorted out.

as well as checking if your issue has already been raised,
(and you can also see what issues your fellow athletes have been raising).

In future, similar forms will be available for each section of the AGN Web site.

******************************************************

TO ALL CLUBS

It has been decided by the AGN Board that from 1 March 2011 all temporary licences will sold by the AGN Office during road races meaning that clubs will no longer have this administrative burden during a race placed upon them. Clubs will still be responsible for providing the allocated pre-entry points (sport stores, etc.) with temporary licences. (We are also investigating the possibility to assist in this as long as the entry point is in the Pretoria area) Clubs can now also supply the AGN office with entry forms and the AGN Office will now also become an official pre-entry point where athletes can do pre-entries for all AGN road races during 2011.

If any club, that is hosting a race before 1 March 2011, wishes to make use of this service before this date, please inform me as such and necessary arrangements will be made to have temporary licences sold at such races.

AGN ROAD RUNNING & WALKING SECTION

LETTER 1 of 2012
from the Road Running and Walking Chairperson,
Rita van der Merwe.

Dear Club Chairpersons

I want to take this opportunity to wish every club and their management as well as their members a Wonderful 2012. This is the year of the Olympic Games, let’s get behind our athletes.

Hope that 2012 will make all your dreams come true (dream big) and that all of us will experience an injury free year. I want to request that all club chairpersons make a positive effort to attend meetings in 2012. If you cannot attend please send someone in your place. This will ensure that you as a club will be participating in the decisions made during the year to improve road-running in Gauteng North and that your club will always be on top of affairs in the province. Let’s work together, we need a 360 communication network to function properly and be one big team.

All clubs have to attend the special meeting called for 19 January 2012, it is crucial to attend and cast your vote on very urgent matters.

I also want to ask the Clubs to inform all members of the following rules (IAAF and ASA rules) when participating in a road race: Firstly you MUST pin your annual license to the front as well as to the back of your running vest. Take note: If you have left one/or both at home you have to purchase a temporary license. And please do not pin both to the front of your vest. Secondly NO IPods (any sound system with earphones) are allowed. All athletes, marshals and other road users safety is of utmost importance.

Then another request:

Always LISTEN to the marshals and adhere to their requests please.

For clubs hosting races, please take note that your race flyer must be approved by the RRC (Road Running Commission) 90 days prior to race date. No flyer is allowed to be distributed before approval. Send your flyer to Dennis Moleofe at dennis.moleofe@bmw.co.za or Moleofe@gmail.com

In order for the RRC and the office to keep in touch with all clubs, please ensure that any changes regarding the contact details are forwarded to the office.

The first league race of 2012 is upon us, (Filadelfia Gardens) taking place on 7 January 2012 (see the race information below).

Greetings in running

Rita van der Merwe

Road Running Chairperson

******************************************************

*The following list of races is as up to date as we can manage to get them.

Races unavoidably often have to be changed from what was originally tentatively planned in the provisional fixture list that was published at the beginning of the year - circumstances change, sponsors fall away more often than before in the current tight economic climate, and organisers sometimes agree to swop dates due to differing circumstances.

The only certainty in life (besides death and taxes) is CHANGE. ;-)

So, the only practical option is to check this list near to the time of the race, which should help to pick up changes that are decided in advance.

Obviously, there can still be last minute changes that will be impossible to list
- for example, due to extreme weather at the time of the race.

The safest will be to contact the race organisers, where possible, if in doubt.

To assist with that, we will try to provide contact details, where available - and in a prelude to the upcoming makeover of the AGN Web site, we will also try to add an additional service to provide links to electronic copies of race flyers,
(where available).

2012 TWO OCEANS

Entry Counter 07 Jan 2012:
21km 16000 of 16000
56km 2091 of 11000

Race Date 07 Apr. 2012

Online entries for next year’s ultra marathon opened on 5 October 2011. The entry process has been split and participants will be able to enter online for the 56km ultra marathon only from 5 October. The 43rd event takes place on Easter Saturday 7 April 2012. Participants are encouraged to get their qualifying marathon done as soon as they can and to submit their entry to avoid disappointment.

The qualifying window is from 1 September 2011 to 7 March 2012. South African entrants wanting to run the ultra marathon must belong to a registered ASA running club and have a valid provincial licence number, as no temporary licences will be issued for the 56km event.  http://www.TwoOceansMarathon.org.za

Runners who missed out on an Old Mutual Two Oceans half marathon entry will have the chance to bid for one when 21 charity entries go up for auction, as part of a major fundraising initiative for the Two Oceans Marathon Initiative (TOMI), the event’s charity foundation. Bidding for the 21 half marathon entries is scheduled to open on Thursday 1 December 2011. Entries open at R900 each and provide those participants who missed the entry deadline with a chance to secure a half marathon entry. Interested participants can post their bid atwww.oldmutual.co.za/twooceansmarathon

The auction runs for 21 days until Wednesday 21 December 2011, with one entry awarded to the highest bidder of each day. Winners will be announced the day after each bid. Winning bids will also receive a PUMA product voucher and their race entry includes an ‘A’ seeding. The top two successful bids will each receive an invite to the VIP hospitality area at the finish line on race day.

Race director Rowyn James said that entries for the 2012 Old Mutual Two Oceans half marathon closed in a record time of nine days and the office and social media sites have been inundated with calls and appeals from disappointed runners who missed out. “This is a way for us to help a few of them, while also raising funds for our charity drive TOMI.”

A record field of 16 000 will line up in Newlands on Easter Saturday 7 April making it the biggest field ever, as well as the biggest half marathon in the country.

“The auction was first introduced for the 2009 event and has proved to be a successful, yet novel way to raise some extra funds for charity. It provides those select few who weren’t able to get an entry with a chance to still run the event and support a worthy cause at the same time,” said Joy Khaole, Head: Group Sponsorships, Old Mutual.

Two Oceans Trail Run

Entries for the trail runs will open at 10h00 on 18 January 2012 so make a note on your computer, your mobile, your diary, whatever works for you as you will need to enter as soon as possible, as entries sold out in less than a day for the 2011 event. You’ve been warned!

***************************************************

Athletes who have successfully completed the 2011 Comrades Marathon can use their race time as the qualifying time for the 2012 Comrades Marathon.

The CMA has also approved for implementation in 2012, for the first time in its history, a Substitution Rule that would allow athletes to substitute (or replace) other athletes who entered but are no longer able to run due to injury, illness or because they were unable to qualify. The detailed substitution procedure and time period for the substitution process will be announced in due course.
