PREVIEW: Vien pursues a Comrades Marathon milestone
Thanks to preparation and determination, Vien Sewlal is prepared to tackle his 25th consecutive Comrades Marathon this year.
This weekend, Vien Sewlal will take on his 25th consecutive Comrades Marathon.
For some determined athletes, completing a single ultramarathon is achievement enough.

“I’m very proud of what I’ve achieved and I am looking forward to it.”
Vien joined the world of marathons in the early 90s.
