Race honours Women’s Day
JOBURG - The streets of Johannesburg were buzzing with excitement on Women's Day when a record field of 7734 runners gathered at the Totalsports Ladies Race.
Nedbank runner Cornelia Joubert set the course on fire in the 10km Totalsports Ladies Race crossing the finish line in an astounding 37 minutes and 55 seconds.
Joubert said it was a tough 10km race. “This is the fifth time that I have taken part in the Totalsports Ladies Race. The competition was tough, while the route was really difficult, featuring more hills than last year. The weather also didn’t make racing any easier. I’m happy to finally take first place. The event was well organised and there was a great vibe among the runners. I really enjoyed taking part,” she said.
Christine Kalmer came in second, while Dianna Dalula finished third.
Runners took part in different races such as the 5km run/fun walk and a 10km run/fun walk.
