On Sunday our runners took part in the inaugural Sandton to Soweto Marathon, 21 and 10km.
A lot of challenges were there due to poor organisation of the event. However, that did not stand in the way to stop our Green Team of Nedbank runners.
We had 6 winners from the race
21 km
1 Rutendo Nyahora Women
1 Xolisa Tyali Men
1 Tshepo Majwafi Junior
1 Zeb Mokonoto Snr Vet
10km
1 Jeffrey Gwebu
1 Thabang Mosiako Junior
In the 21km race for men, the podium was turned green as 5 runners from Nedbank took 1st 5 positions. Our Junior Tshepo in his 1st 21km, ran a good time running 68mins.
