#RunSouthAfrica

You get a free ride back to the start of the North West N12 Ultra Marathon in an authentic minibus taxi. Just how Afrikaans is Klerksdorp? Well here, even the taxi drivers play Kurt Darren for their passengers.

It’s not just about the run - it’s also about creating lasting memories with friends and forging new friendships.

The Koppie - although a challenge- getting to the top is a reminder of our own strength & capabilities & the beauty of what is around us 🙌

Marathon #267 (unique marathon #162) completed at the Durban International Marathon. After missing out on my weekly marathon last weekend with a bug (BNAC is jinxed for me) it was nice to get another one done.

Show me that you’re tired without telling me that you’re tired.

You see some strange sights on a marathon and this is one of them. I asked him what the deal was and the answer was a bit incoherent but I think he said, “I love my tyre.” No judgement from me.

These blue bastions of bliss are to the marathon runner what the safety net is to the trapeze artist. I am not sure why this one was for “Men Only” (but I was pleased to see that the seat had been left up).

Marathon #268 (unique marathon #163) completed at the North West Province N12 Ultra. They transferred one of Wally’s extra kilometres so we got 49km although we paid for 50 (neither me nor my legs are complaining).

An interesting sight on the road into Klerksdorp during the North West N12 Ultra Marathon.
If you are ever asked the question, “What is a Klerksdorp bakkie?”
The answer looks to be a convertible Mercedes Benz!

If the plants to the right grow faster than the rest, this wall will read like a ‘Daily Sun’ headline “Queen Nandi Mounted (Shaka demands a paternity test)”. On the other hand, “Queen Nandi Mounted Rifles” might make for an even more interesting tabloid article.
