Agent Moagi and Helena Joubert are the fastest local Comrades runners

HIGHVELD – Agent Moagi, a policeman from Secunda, proved himself the fastest endurance racer in the police in Mpumalanga.

Moagi finished this year’s Comrades Marathon in just over seven hours earning him silver medal on Sunday, 9 June.

He completed the 86km up run from Durban to Pietermaritzburg in a time of 7:07,52.

Helena Joubert from the Sasol Marathon Club excelled in the Comrades by finishing seventh in the category for women over 40.

This was her sixth Comrades Marathon.

The 43-year-old completed the race faster than any of her teammates from Sasol Marathon Club and was awarded an Isavel Roche-Kelly medal (silver-centred circled by gold ring) for her time of 7:22,31.

Joubert, whose time improved by more than an hour since the previous race, said on Monday that her performance has enhanced since meeting John Hamlett at a training camp in Dullstroom at the end of last year. He has since become Joubert’s coach.
