Petros Ndlangamandla to compete in his 16th Comrades Marathon

This will be his 16th year he completes the marathon and he is looking forward in doing so with his younger brother, Mbongiseni Ndlangamandla.

“Although we do not have the same parents our surnames connects us as brothers,” Petros Ndlangamandla said.

They recently participated in the annual Pongola Sugar Cane race and were there to grab the last chance to qualify for the iconic Comrades marathon, that will take place on Sunday 9 June.

Petros completed the race in 3:18:23 (batch B) and claimed the first prize in the masters category (50 years +). Mbongiseni surprised everyone including himself when he finished in 3:58,43 (batch D) at his first attempt to qualify.
