RUNNER ’ S HIGH
The Experience : Semingly floating above the road , eventual race winner Irvette van Zyl leads the way in Joburg ’ s annual running celebration of women on Woman ’ Day ( 9 August ), flanked by eventual second-placed Rutendo Nyahora ( right ) and third-placed Lebo Phalula ( left ). Van Zyl crossed the line in 34:58 to record her sixth win in this race , which is traditionally run on the same day as women ’ s races in Cape Town and Durban , and sees the roads of all three cities turned into a ‘ sea of pink ’ as thousands of women don their official race tees as they tackle the 10km or 5km races . ( Unfortunately , the violent taxi strike in Cape Town forced the cancellation of the Cape Town race , but it has been rescheduled for Sunday 1 October .)
