It took place on Wednesday at Ingwenyama Conference & Sports Resort for the second time since it was moved from Mbombela Stadium.

It is a 10-kilometre and five-kilometre route, through the streets surrounding Ingwenyama with the start and finish being at the resort.

Sehohle completed the race in a time of 31:40 and this is an improvement compared to last year. In 2018 he completed the race in 32:17.

In second place was Abednico Mashaba who completed the race in 32:19 and Prince Ndlovu was in the third with a time of 32:47.

Sehohle said the Ingwenyama route is more challenging than what they are used to. In 2017 he completed the race in 30:50.

“This route tests your skills and is tough although if you are fit you can easily complete it. I remember while running when I got to six kilometres I thought to myself I will not be competing in this race again because it was not easy going through that route. It took me about five weeks to prepare,” Sehohle explained.
