Striders prepare for Sardine Marathon
The weather was perfect for running.
THE South Coast Striders held their 21km club championships last Sunday.
The weather played its part in the success of the day, as did the Ridley family when it came to organising.
A total of 40 Striders took part, with Michael Mzobe and Xesibe Themba crossing the line together in a time of 1:17:06.
The first woman home was Mignon Klusener in 1:52:18.
Hannes Streuderst was the first walker to finish in a time of 2:41:35.
Ellene Barbadimos won the women’s walking section in 2:41:35.
