FreeMove at Comrades Marathon 2025: Recovery Tools & Inspiration

As we reach the halfway point of 2025 FreeMove is proud to reflect on one of the year's most inspiring events, the Comrades Marathon. Whether you were lacing up for the ultra endurance challenge, supporting from the sidelines, or guiding recovery as a physiotherapist, your strength and dedication have been nothing short of extraordinary.

Our FreeMove team was honored to be part of your journey, from pre-race preparation at the Comrades Expo to post-race recovery. Our signature Muscle Care range was a favorite among runners, coaches, and therapists alike, offering recovery kits and targeted support for everything from tight calves to aching quads.

We believe movement matters, and recovery is where strength is restored. Thank you for choosing FreeMove to be part of that process.
