RandMark’s youngest runner shares her love for running

Tiffany van Loggerenberg (26) is currently the youngest runner at RandMark.

She joined the club in 2019 and explained her love for running came after trying it out with her friends, who were runners. She further noted at first it was just to be active, but she soon fell in love with the sport.

Her friends convinced her to then partake in a 5km run, after which she decided to push herself to go further. She ran her first marathon in November 2019.

“I love seeing how wonderful the Lord made us and what my body is capable of doing. I realise that it is a privilege and after every race, I stand in awe of what the Lord is capable of because I know that I am not able to run these distances with my own strength alone. I experience the presence of the Lord during races because I can’t run a step without Him. I also love the physical, mental and spiritual challenges that come with running ultra marathons,” said Tiffany.

In October she plans to take part in the Cape Town Marathon and encouraged others to also give running a try.

“I believe it has therapeutic benefits. I use running to control stress and I also believe it is healthy to be active. The advice I would give to a new runner is to never compare yourself to other runners. You are unique, your body is unique and your journey is unique.”
