Following two well-attended webinars over the past weeks, the Comrades Marathon Association (CMA) will host a women-specific webinar for Comrades runners this Thursday, 29 February 2024.

These are aimed at motivating athletes to get on top of their training plan via a series of online sessions for the 97th edition of The Ultimate Human Race, on Sunday, 9 June 2024.

Comrades Coach, Lindsey Parry has encouraged all female athletes to sign up and be part of this specific online session, saying, "The Comrades webinars provide a great guide towards preparations for race day.
