When it comes to the females with the most Comrades medals, there is one club that completely dominates with four names on the Top 10 list: Stella Athletics Club. What is even more incredible is that there are currently just nine women who’ve run 30 or more Comrades. Two of our Stella Four, Pat Fisher and Pat Freeman, have already notched up their Triple Greens whilst the other two, Gina Hinchliffe and Helen Mann, will be aiming to add a third laurel to their impressive Comrades records this Sunday. This article focuses on the two ladies who will be lining up in Pietermaritzburg on 29 not out.
Funnily enough, both Gina and Helen have been on my radar – together with their other halves Shane and Garry – on the list of husbands and wives with the most Comrades medals. The two couples have a combined total of 123 medals which should increase to 127 this weekend. The Hinchliffes (with 61) are also just behind the Margolins (with 62) on the most married medals at Two Oceans list.
