George Kusche

I joined the Nedbank Running Club in October 2023 after not running for the whole of 2023. I called Nick and expected him to be hesitant to allow me in the club, much less furnish me with running shoes and supplements. I could not have been more wrong, as Nick enthusiastically helped me to join and supported me with shoes and supplements.

I've been a marathon runner since 3 Nov 2014 with Soweto Marathon being my debut 11 years ago in the colours of Nedbank. I've been running for Nedbank Running club since then with a slight detour in 2022. I returned to Nedbank in 2023 and I must say my blood has always been Green. Just in the last two years, I finished position 51 out of 4479 women that started the 86km uprun Comrades Marathon with a finish time of 7h30minutes and 26 seconds in 2024.
