Achilles Intraclub Relay - 24 September 2011
Some stiff competition, good spirited banter and plenty of laughs saw Heritage Day celebrated in style.  Results are still pending but unofficially on handicap, the Kneecaps ran in first, then the Grey Caps (with some help from a couple of young bloods, then the Red Caps, then the Invitiationals followed closely by the Blue Caps, the Black Caps, White Caps and finally last but not least the Handicaps.  This is purely from memory and the official results will confirm.  Well done to all who supported a great club spirit builder.  Thanks also to the braaiers who saw to all having full tummies after the event.  Congrats to Bradley, Andrew and Anche for organising.

Achilles Intraclub Relay - 18 September 2010
Although the Official Results have not been circulated yet, it can be assumed from all the e-mails that are doing the rounds (some "crowing" and some full of excuses, latest being of "nocternal overexertion" the night before the event), that the White Caps narrowly beat the Blue Caps with the Black Caps following and the Red Caps bringing up the rear.  Much fun (and Beer) was had by all.  See PHOTOGRAPHS on this website.

Achilles Walking Group - Tuesdays and Thursdays, Old Grey, 5.30pm
Join a growing number of walkers made up of Achilles wives and husbands and lazy or recuperating runners.  Walk for 30 minutes or an hour.  Gerald Bouwer and Roy Cartmel will accompany the walkers ensuring their safety.  So get fit for summer, enjoy a good gaggle and stay for a much needed drink after.  Runners, this is also a great way to taper for that big weekend run or to walk the stiffness out of those legs following a long one.

Comrades 2010 - 30 May 2010
We had 29 Achillians starting out from Pietermaritzburg on Sunday morning (Bramwell Fleurs snuck in under the radar.  We did not realise Jody Fleurs was one of ours.  We thought he was a Bloem Achillean.  We always have quite a few of them erroneously listed under our list of entrants at both Two Oceans and Comrades each year.  Apologies, Bramwell.  Unfortunately we had 28 finishers as Craig Harwood tore a hamstring which had been bothering him since the Andre van Coller Half.  Bad luck, Craig.  Having said that, 28 is a fantastic number of finishers and the highest for Achilles for many years.  Well done to all!!!  Full Club Results & Time Predicitions done by Percy and Andrew P before the event.
