Special congrats to Eloise who did her first full marathon and finished in a Comrades qualifying time. That is some serious bragging rights!
Well done to Heather Stanton, Ursula Jansen van Vuuren, Christa Seidler, Jenny Parsons and Travis Clarke who did the 21km half marathon.
In the 10km race Chelsea Jones, Zoe Jones, Vicky Langa, Kelly Saint, Roger Saint, Tyron Seach, Dave Tredway, Andrew Wilkes and Karen Wilkes all had a good race.
Special mention to Chelsea and Zoe who achieved their 10km race personal best times.
The club gazebo was erected at Kings Park for the athletes and supporters, which was the start and finish of all distances.
Athletes started at Kings Park, then went out to Durban North towards Virginia airport and back again, double lapper for the 42km.
Boerewors rolls, which were prepared by the dedicated Scottburgh AC supporters, were enjoyed by all after their race.
A special thanks must go to Warren Daniels for always looking after the runners.
