Claude Moshiwa-Nedbank Green Dream Team athlete dominates Comrades Marathon.



Claude Moshiwa from the Nedbank Running Club in Gauteng North become the first South African up run winner in 21 years for the Comrades marathon.The Nedbank Running Club outperformed all the clubs this year and boasted with 7 gold medals,3 category winners and 4 team prizes.

If there is such a thing as an undramatic Comrades Marathon, this one was it. Claude Moshiywa was at the front of the 88th Comrades since he took the lead on one of the five big hills, Inchanga, soon after the halfway mark and for the last 90 minutes he ran unchallenged to the finish in Pietermaritzburg.

The hot and very windy conditions slowed him over the last 10 km and he had an especially tough time up the last hill, Polly Shorts, which crests just less than 8 km from the end, but he won comfortably in 5:32:08 to become the first South African winner of the “up” runsince Jetman Msutu took the title in 1992.

Put into some perspective. The 50th position was 6:35. The total silver or better were 325 which is +-2% of the runners. Normally around 4-5%. With over 14000 starters the race was almost three times the starters of 1981 UP run - 50th position then was 6:37. Well done to all who finished and particularly Alan Robb and Dave Lowe (westville) who completed 40 and to Dave Rogers who pushed the record out to 45 medals. Great to see so many international runners finish. It may not have been the time you wanted but definitely a Comrades that you can be proud to have finished - historic
