At the Kaapsehoop Marathon, one of the country’s most scenic and popular events, Nedbank athletes dominated across multiple distances. In the men’s Marathon, Bonginkosi Mavuso claimed victory, crossing the finish line in a time of 2:16:26. The women’s race saw strong performances from Rebecca Nakuwa, who secured third place in 2:54:40, and Jeannie Henderson, who finished ninth in 3:00:50.

In the half-marathon, it was another green sweep at the front of the pack. Thabang Mosiako took the win in a time of 1:02:17, followed closely by teammate Lucky Mohale, who finished second in 1:03:01. Gideon Kiplagat also impressed, placing eighth with a solid 1:08:45. The women’s half-marathon was equally successful, with Florence Nysingiri claiming victory in 1:12:31.

The future of the club looks bright, with young star Cailyn Abell finishing as first junior in the 10km race, clocking a 42:36.

Meanwhile, on the trails, Lloyd Bosman showcased his endurance and versatility by winning the Dryland Traverse, a four-day stage race famous for its opening prologue inside the Cango Caves and rugged stages through the Swartberg Mountains. His win highlights the club’s growing strength beyond road running.

“An incredible four-day trail event took place at De Hoek, starting with a 9km prologue through the Cango Caves on the first afternoon in Oudtshoorn. Stage 2, a challenging 25km route over the Swartberg Pass, tested runners with steep climbs, long descents, and intense heat. Saturday’s 25km stage was slightly easier, and after building a strong 35-minute lead, the final 10km on Sunday was a fast and focused effort to secure the overall victory. Winning all stages and the solo competition made it an unforgettable experience. Huge credit goes to Bernard and his team for their outstanding organisation, accommodation, and hospitality, a top-class event I hope I will be returning to next year.”

Adding to the weekend’s success, Kelly van Vliet finished second at the Corkwood 15km, putting in a strong performance. In Durban, Mziwenkosi Mjaja raced to second place at the SA Home Loans Oldies 10km, finishing in an impressive 32:05.

It was another weekend of exceptional performances for the Nedbank Running Club, as athletes across all disciplines continue to fly the green flag high. From marathons to mountain trails, their dedication, hard work, and team spirit once again proved why the club remains a dominant force in South African running.
