My running journey only started in 2018 and the sole purpose was to loose weight. I worked as a security guard at a local stadium and joined the people training on the track. A career highlight was to finish 3rd at the Cape Peninsula Marathon this year in a time of 2:22:07 It was also an honor to be part of the 2020 Sanlam Elite invitational Marathon, where I finished 5th in the Cape Town event in 2:25:13.
My personal best in marathon 2h22:07 I run this year on the 16 February 2020 Cape Peninsula Marathon.
In my career of running I run 6 marathons.
My personal best in half marathon 1h11:05 I run last on June 2019
My personal best in 10kms 32minutes and 17seconds I run last on 16 June 2019 at Gugulethu race

I would also suggest one exceptional age grouper male and female say best 40-49 or 50-59 or even 60-69 and their exceptional performances may inspire many runners interest and enhance marketing and brand awareness. Just a thought.
