POLOKWANE – Pietersburg Road Runners athletes were once again victorious during the Limpopo Club Championships that were held at the Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday.
Collinda Potgieter, a Pietersburg Road Runners athlete said the championships were fun and athletes enjoyed themselves.
Rufus Photo competed in the 10km Cluster Road Run and finished the race in a time of 32:00.
Several athletes from the club will take part in the very popular Old Mutual Om die Dam 50km marathon, which will take place at Hartebeespoort Dam on Saturday.
Potgieter said the race had a difficulty rating of three, which meant it was not an easy race, especially Saartjie’s Neck around 32km.
“Most of the Pietersburg Road Runners athletes will use the Om die Dam marathon as preparation for the Comrades Marathon,” said Potgieter.
