Those who have run it call it the toughest race in the world – the race is run in the Free State town of Harrismith, up the mountain, and then back down to town.

Monya had ups and downs this year with her little boy being in and out of hospital, preventing her from training the way she should have. Nevertheless, she will participate and give her all to this race as she has in the previous years.
