The Elite Men’s field is dominated by Kenyan and Ethiopians, though also includes Motlokoa Mkhabutlane from Lesotho and Morocco’s Mohammed Ziani.

She says that the Marathon will also act as the SA National Championships, so may top South Africans runners will be competing, including elite athletes like Elroy Gelant, Lusapho April, Melikhaya Frans, Lebo Dinah and her twin sister Lebogang Phalula and Mari Rabie.
