Helping our team of runners on race day

You just about had to run the Comrades Marathon already to understand the magnitude of it. It's not far; it's VERY far! It's not long, it's a VERY long almost 12 hour run for the majority of runners who complete the race within the cut-off time. As a support team, we want to give the Sudan4Jesus runners the best possible support on race day.

So next week we're having a meeting with the runners to discuss how best we could assist them on race day. We gave them something to think about in preparation for race day:

Dear Friends of Sudan4Jesus,

 

I trust that you are all experiencing the life in Christ in it's fullness; the Lord is good, His love endures forever!

On Tuesday evening at 7pm we are getting together at Norman's home to discuss some practical arrangements for your Sudan4Jesus run at Comrades. We would like to assist you in any way to make the day very special and to see all your hard training the past year come to a victorious conclusion.

 

The main focus of the Sudan4Jesus run is to raise money for the Lord's work in Sudan through the ministry of the Sudan Support Network (SSNet). The focus is on the Lord and the expansion of His kingdom and through Sudan4Jesus we want to be available for His purpose.

 

Here are some things we would like to discuss, please feel free to bring your ideas for discussion:

 

1) Meeting together on the day before Comrades; Saturday 28 May

2) Seconding points along the route

3) Teams to man the seconding points

4) How we can assist you at the seconding points

5) Banners at each seconding point

6) Goodie bags for all your supplements

7) Sponsors for Sudan4Jesus; how to raise sponsors.

 

We are looking forward to meet with you, please make a special effort to attend.

 

Blessings,
