History was written at the Totalsports Two Oceans Ultra Marathon in Cape Town yesterday as the unstoppable Gerda Steyn claimed a record-breaking seventh consecutive victory.
Steyn – Mzansi’s queen of road-running – clocked an impressive 03:27:43, destroying second-placed Margaret Jepchumba by a good five minutes.
Even after enduring the punishing race, giggling Gerda was still in good spirits and was able to do a lap of honour.
Now, all eyes will be on Gerda at the 2026 Comrades Marathon. You go, girl.
