When asked what time Malixole Kalideni was aiming for at the Comrades Marathon, he replied: sub 6. Well, he sure delivered!
5:44:12, what an incredible time as a novice on the brutal up run. Malixole sped up on the second half, moving through the field from 78th to eventually crossing the finish line in 33rd position in a fantastic time of 5:44:12.
To say we are proud of you is an understatement! Well done Malixole, you trained hard and ran hard. Your dedication and passion for this sport of road running is incredible. Seeing you continually improving and staying the humble person you are makes us so proud of you. It is heartwarming to see the support from the community.
Keep up the good work, the best is yet to come.
A big thank you to Karin Zimmerman for her expert guidance over the years.
