larkim Jun 2018 3:08pm, 20 Jun 2018 5,085 posts	0 larkim Meant to ask at the time, why do runners like Steve run for "Nedbank" as their club when running Comrades? Do overseas athletes need to register with a SA club to be able to run, or is there some other sponsorship etc arrangements which makes things work better.
