North West Province <\/em><\/strong>\u2013 The 8th<\/sup> annual Fedhealth Platinum Trail Run <\/strong>that will take place at the ATKV Buffelspoort on Sunday 29 August 2021 has attracted the attention of Charne Bosman, the 2016 Comrades Marathon Champion and 2021 THIRSTI AFRICANX TRAILRUN Champion (in the mixed team category).<\/p>\n

\u201cClaiming gold at the THIRSTI AFRICANX TRAILRUN in March this year was one of my running career-highlights,\u201d confirms Bosman, who belongs to the Murray & Roberts Running Club.\u00a0 \u201cIt was so much more than what I expected.\u00a0 The event made me realise just how different trail running is to road running.\u00a0 I got to see places that I would never get to see if it wasn\u2019t for the event.\u00a0 I just love where each route took us.\u00a0 With trail running you\u2019re treated to amazing scenery and feel so close to nature.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRunning trail definitely benefits my road running,\u201d continues Bosman.\u00a0 \u201cI feel so much stronger on the road now.\u00a0 After AFRICANX I had to enter the Fedhealth Platinum Trail Run.\u00a0 One of the biggest reasons is that both events are organized by Stillwater Sports and after what I experienced at AFRICANX, the Fedhealth Platinum Trail Run is guaranteed to be another great event that I don\u2019t want to miss out on.\u00a0 I will definitely take a competitive approach to the event and am really looking forward to seeing where the route will take us.\u201d<\/p>\n
