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.
Entries have been streaming in at a steady rate for the 2023 Surfers Challenge taking place on Saturday, and in the process a picture of the likely head-to-head racing is taking shape. The Daily Dispatch had a discussion with 2012 men’s winner Awonke Bungu, who indicated he would be racing the traditional Surfers from Kwelera to Nahoon for the first time since he had won.
