Comrades Marathon Champion (2016) Charne Bosman will step out of her comfort zone the weekend of 26 \u2013 28 March 2021 when she takes on South Africa\u2019s premier three-day stage trail run, the AfricanX Trailrun at the Houw Hoek Hotel (Bot River, Overberg Region \/ Western Cape).<\/p>\n

Bosman\u2019s 27-year career in running has seen her rake in an impressive list of achievements including:  SA Cross Country Champion (1999 \u2013 2002), Two Oceans Half Marathon Champion (2001 \u2013 2003), SA Marathon Champion (2008, 2011 and 2012) and Comrades Marathon Champion (2016) to mention just a few.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not sure if any road races will take place in the next four months and I\u2019ve always wanted to take part in the AfricanX Trailrun,\u201d says Bosman.  \u201cI did some trail running in December while on holiday in Jeffreys Bay and absolutely loved it.  I wanted to do it every day.  I love the toughness around it.  I don\u2019t have a trail running background, but I have represented South Africa at six world cross country championships.  I actually started my running career as a cross country runner.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am really looking forward to the AfricanX Trailrun,\u201d continues Bosman.  \u201cI\u2019ll be teaming up with Karel Burger who\u2019s no stranger to the sport.  We will be running for the Murray & Roberts Running Club.  Our team strength will definitely be our mental toughness and collective competition experience.  Our goal is to do well.  I am training on the trails every weekend.  I will do my homework to ensure that we do well.  I am really looking forward to this new experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
