I
t’s the Lilyfontein Tomato Trot’s 21st birthday on 6 February 2016 and as we celebrate this milestone, we welcome a new sponsor. We say goodbye and thank you to TFM, our naming sponsor for seven years and welcome aboard Red Baron Tomatoes. The Lilyfontein Red Baron Tomato Trot & Cycle Tomato Trot was founded on the premise that town runners are missing out on a great opportunity to experience the

countryside while practising their sport. Three Brakfontein runners, John Brown, Rocco Kruger and Danie Bessinger (of Sunrise Park Run fame) got together with Ivan Dewing and decided to share their passion for running and the paradise in which they ran. The rather unusual name originated from the environment in which the run takes place; through the tomato fields and farmlands of the Brakfontein area or East London. Thirty six runners turned out for the inaugural

What time is it?
It’s SALTY HOUR!
A
s East Londoners we all share a love of the ocean and the beach. And now there’s a community of passionate surfers who have made it their mission to set aside just an hour of their time every Saturday for those wanting to enjoy the salty air and do something out of the ordinary… ride waves! “Salty Hour” is the brain child of Jono Bruton (Gonubie
resident, surfer and founder of lifestyle brand, Dead Reckoning) and DR brand ambassador Tyrell Johnson, who wanted to create an “enabled” environment for those wanting to learn to surf and get guidance where needed. If you want to know when the next Salty Hour is, subscribe to their informative Facebook page for regular updates. Bring a towel, a smile and leave your issues on the sand! Oh, and did we mention
that Salty Hour is absolutely free… yip that’s right. Surprised? Don’t be. The ocean belongs to us all, our payment is respecting the ocean, being mindful of the effects we have on the ocean and doing our bit to keep it clean. Salty Hour encourage all the new and prospective surfers to find at least one polluting item on the beach to take back to the bin in the car park when exiting the water. If having fun and trying new things for free is not convincing enough, Salty Hour have put together three reasons why you should at least try to surf! #1 Surfing is a full body workout. Lately it seems that every new workout fad makes two major claims—that it’s a full body workout and that it’s “the perfect blend” of cardio and strength training. While that may or may not be true of these new fads, surfing is the classic, tried-andtrue total body workout. From paddling out to riding waves, every aspect of surfing tests your strength, balance, agility and stamina. #2 Surfing teaches patience. Any new sport or activity takes
time to learn and for most people surfing takes a little longer than, say, running or biking. Getting good takes a while, but when you hit milestones, like standing up for the first time or mastering a new move, the reward will be that much greater. #3 Cross an item off your bucket list. Whether or not you have a written-out bucket list, and regardless of whether or not surfing is on that list, the premise of these lists is expanding your horizons, doing something that scares you and hopefully coming back with a story worth telling. Learning to surf or surfing in an extraordinary destination would be a great addition to that list, so write it down and then work on crossing it off. This brilliant event is not to be missed. Even if you don’t get in the water, it’s never a bad idea to spend time at the beach, and an added bonus is spending it with people who are passionate about the ocean.
