The Comrades Marathon women's race on Sunday could be a fun run if utterances by the top contenders are anything to go by.
“I am just here to enjoy the race. It’s great that Comrades is back because I have been looking forward to running my favourite race. The key is to just go out there and have fun, take a lot of the spirit from the people on the road. Smile at the people because when they scream your name louder it makes you run faster.”
Jenna Challenor of Murray & Roberts intends to do the same: “I plan to use the crowd and enjoy myself on the road because that works for me.” American Camille Herron, who won the 2017 up run, is delighted to be back and says she can't wait for the start of the race.Shosholoza
