Far from the gravel roads of the Eastern Cape, top runners Malixole Kalideni, 31, and Yanga Malusi, 26, will be taking part in one of the world’s most prestigious events, the TCS London Marathon, on Sunday.
Local athletes have rallied behind two of the Eastern Cape’s top runners Malixole Kalideni and Yanga Malusi who have been given a once-in-a-lifetime invitation to the prestigious TCS London Marathon, taking place in the UK in April.The 42.165km route includes London’s landmarks like Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge and Canary Wharf and had 48,000 participants in 2023.
The men’s and women’s races at the fourth running of the Real Gijimas 50km ultra-marathon provided different outcomes in respect of predicted results, but both races provided new winners and added depth to a developing history of this tough race from Zwelitsha to Mdantsane.
