On the 23rd of August, two U/17 athletes Maria Muchenje and Theophelus Nkala participated in the Capricorn Marathon at Flora Park Comprehensive. They ran 6km with Theophelus, coming out in third place and Maria scoring first place. They shared their struggles and hardships when preparing for this event, and they even felt like giving u and not participating. Then, in their desperate time of need, they put the event in God’s hands, and they walk away with their heads held high and medal around their necks at the end of the day.
