🏅 Congratulations to our RunBuddies🏅

A massive congratulations to all the RunBuddies who took on the University of Botswana Marathon! 🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♂️🔥

From the 21.1 km half marathon to the 42.2 km full marathon, you showed what RunBuddies are made of; discipline, determination, resilience and the courage to keep moving when the kilometres got tough.

Every finish time tells a different story, but every finish line represents the same thing: you showed up, you pushed through, and you did it! 💪🏾🏅

We celebrate every one of you and every kilometre that brought you to that finish line.

RunBuddies showed up. RunBuddies finished strong. RunBuddies made the miles count! ❤️🔥UB Marathon

🏃🏾‍♂️🔥 GOOD LUCK, RUN BUDDIES! 🔥🏃🏾‍♀️

Tomorrow, the streets of Gaborone belong to you! 💪🏾

To every Run Buddy taking on the UB Marathon 42.2km and 21.1km, trust the training, trust your legs, and run with heart.
And for our 42.2km runners with Comrades dreams, there’s an extra mission; UB Marathon is your chance to qualify!
4:59:59 gets you through the Comrades door but don’t let that limit the dream. Whether you’re chasing sub-5, sub-4, sub-3 or a new PB, tomorrow is your day to go after YOUR number⏱️🔥

May the legs be strong, the mind stronger, and the kilometres kind.

Miles. Smiles. Good vibes. Go make yourselves proud, Run Buddies🏁❤️ Achuuuuuuuuuuu!!!🔊🔊🔊
