Join Runner’s & Cyclists Guide’s author Tom Cottrell, and MyRoute for an evening of enlightenment and entertainment.

Now in its 22nd year, the Nedbank Runners’ Guide series was first successfully launched in 1992 by Tom Cottrell as a one man business and continues to be run
as such, with an expanded offering to Cyclists' and Swimmers' Guides. With an impressive track record, Tom has completed five Comrades Marathons, nine Midmar
Miles and has a medal from all seven continents, details of which are shared in his book ‘5 Hour Pilgrim’.

Tom will share his personal journey from a car-accident in 1989, his commendable charity work and the vision that is frequently referred to as the runners’ and cyclists' ‘bible’.

SportsmansWarehouse will be offering book and gear discounts on the night.
