Another weekend of fantastic results and superb running once again showed the Green Dream Team’s domination on South African road races.

THE NRC was also well represented internationally with Tebogo Philemon Mathiba placing 8th at Sunday’s SSE Airtricty Dublin Marathon. Mathiba crossed the line in 02:18:24 while teammate Mthadazo Qhina finished 15th overall in a time of 02:25:05.

Locally some super fast running was also seen at the 10km Tembisa Street Mile with Mamorallo Tjoka beating the previous women’s record by a second to finish in a time of 34:50. Another special mention goes to Eric Ngubane who barely a week after winning and breaking the record at the Wild Series Golden Gate Challenge placed second at the Goss & Balfe Sapphire Coast Marathon.
