The countdown is over! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

uMhlathuze Athletic Club wishes all our runners, and our friends from neighbouring clubs across Zululand, the very best for the Comrades Marathon.

May your training carry you, your spirit sustain you, and the incredible support along the route remind you why this race is unlike any other.

Run your race, enjoy the journey, and make Zululand proud. We'll be cheering for you every step of the way!

🐊 Crocs Taking on the Ultimate Human Race 🐊

The Crocs are ready!

From the streets of Zululand to the roads between Pietermaritzburg and Durban, our Umhlathuze Athletic Club runners are taking on the Ultimate Human Race this weekend.

Run strong! Leave it all on the road.

Good luck, Crocs – we're behind you all the way! 💚🏅

One week to go! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️💚

Our Comrades Send-Off Breakfast started with a short social run at conversational pace — enough to keep the legs moving without risking injury before the Ultimate Human Race. Afterwards, it was time for a proper South African breakfast: eggs, bacon, sossies, grilled tomato, toast and beans. Lekker food, great company, and plenty of excitement for race day!

A huge thank you to Norman and Sister Madelein from B-Well Pharmacy, Samantha Harding Physiotherapy, and our experienced Comrades runners on the committee for sharing valuable insights, advice, encouragement and race-day tips.

Special thanks also to our committee for gifting each Comrades runner a personalised UAC sweat towel featuring our club logo, the Comrades logo, name and race number — a memorable keepsake for a special occasion.

This year, Crocs has 29 club members taking on Comrades. We wish each and every one of you a fantastic race. We'll be tracking you, cheering you on every step of the way, and celebrating with you when you've crossed that finish line.

Good luck, Crocs! 💚🐊

Strike A Pose! 📸

Post long run and somehow there was still enough energy left for a full-on pose-off 😄
From model stances to questionable dance moves… our crocs clearly don’t only train for running.

Who nailed it best? 👀

Photo Dump: Crocs out and about lately 🐊🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

From chasing PBs to standing proudly on podiums, our crocs have been making waves on roads near and far lately. Here’s a little photo dump from some recent races including Isimangaliso Eco Run, Two Oceans, Durban International Marathon and Chatsworth Freedom Marathon.

Every medal, finish line and early morning start tells a story of commitment, grit and club spirit — and we love seeing our runners flying the green and gold wherever they go.

Well done to every member who has represented uMhlathuze Athletic Club out on the road lately. Keep showing up, keep pushing forward and keep making us proud 💚💛
