Ten10 runners achieve the miraculous
Both runners finish before cut-off time.
Both the runners who attempted to run 10 ultra-maratons in a row, as part of the Ten10 Challenge, have successfully completed the Comrades Ultra-Marathon on Sunday.
Hazel Moller and Roodekrans resident Michelle Maree set of 10 days ago to attempt the gruelling task in aid of animal welfare. Unfortunately Maree had to withdraw on Tuesday due to sunstroke and dehydration. She rejoined Moller on Thursday but only as a support runner. Both woman ran the Comrades on Sunday with Moller finishing in 9:38 and Maree in 9:39.
The Record spoke to Moller this morning who was in a cheery mood. She said although she is stiff and sore that it was not so bad.
“I will not be running soon,” she laughed and added that her dog was waiting at the door to be taken for a walk.
“I might take him for a walk but we are definitely not going to run,” she said.
Moller said both woman are relieved it is over.
Maree could not be reached for comment.
