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.
The MBSA 15km run out and back to the motor plant on East London’s historical West Bank attracted a finishing field of 735 runners, joggers and walkers on an ideal morning.
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.
