Having helped the SA men’s 400m relay team earn silver medals at the recent World Athletics Relays, Zakithi Nene is going into the Paris Olympics dreaming of another podium finish. 

Not too many people can say they have run a marathon, never mind 100 marathons in 100 days. That will probably sound like climbing Mount Everest to the average person… but that’s what 21-year-old Joburg student Chad Markgraaf did last year. And now he’s getting ready for his equally long but much bigger #RUNSA2024 challenge.  

It was a crazy idea – even the young man who dreamt up the idea of Run For Rangers admits that – but Harry Bailey is a determined young man, with an unquenchable spirit, and now he and his team are about to undertake the third edition of this incredible challenge.

Just over a year ago, Glenrose Xaba confidently said that she was working towards beating the long-standing women’s SA Record for 10km, and this July, she lived up to that promise. Now she is looking to go still faster.
