Komani marathon runners boost city’s reputation
Komani Runners Club continued to boost the city’s reputation through their participation in major running events throughout the country.
Over the weekend, Komani Runners Club participated in two races.
The local runners participated in the Masters half marathon (21km) and full marathon (42km).
Other club members travelled to participate in the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon.
Club secretary general Linda Ndongeni said: “Both marathons (Masters & Sanlam Cape Town) were opportunities to shine. For years both marathons have been regarded as fast routes.
“As Komani Runners Club athletes, we prepared ourselves accordingly to secure our personal best times and improve our seeding for the 2024 Two Oceans Ultra Marathon and 2024 Comrades Marathon.
