I’ve had the fortune of cheering on @teamlusapho @LusaphoApril at the @nycmarathon before, and now, I’m looking oh-so-forward to be able to cheer on a South African woman, @gerdarun, as part of this year’s stellar starting line! Go Team SA!

6 yrs ago today... I struggled and debated dropping out when I was in 21st place at halfway. I committed to finishing & ended up in 4th. In many ways, that race made Boston 2014 possible. In running & in life, focus on the moment to accomplish current & future goals. #run2win

Men’s pace has slowed with a tactical battle developing at the front. Race being led at 12km by @gladwin5000m and containing all the favorites

[Team Lusapho @teamlusapho]

A big group of more than 25 men in the front of the race. Early days and still on sub 61 pace.

[Team Lusapho @teamlusapho]

And they are off - with @ElroyGelant taking an early lead in the 2018 national half marathon champs

[Team Lusapho @teamlusapho]

Amongst the SA favorites we are expecting a strong run from @conrad_nolene who will also have an eye on @CTMarathon

[Team Lusapho @teamlusapho]

On the women’s side we have a strong African presence so locally based Ethiopian and Kenyan runners expected to dominate.

[Team Lusapho @teamlusapho]

Also back from injury is @ElroyGelant so he will be hoping for a solid run before @CTMarathon

[Team Lusapho @teamlusapho]

On the men’s side, watch out for Joel Mmone,Thabang Mosiako, Precious Mashile and David Manja.

[Team Lusapho @teamlusapho]

Amongst the South Africa’s the form men’s runners are @gladwin5000m and marathoner Desmond Mokgobu who are prepping for @CTMarathon

[Team Lusapho @teamlusapho]

Last year’s winner Stephen Mokoka ran a 61:21 and is here to defend his title. Local provincial hopes rest with Melikhaya Frans and @Marianio101

[Team Lusapho @teamlusapho]

Today’s race also incorporates the Southern African regional half marathon championships so we have a better than usual presence of athletes from this part of the world.
