She reminisces, that at the age of only 3, she challenged her dad to a bike ride (an astonishingly 22km) cheering him on as they peddled and pushed their way over and through the Oribi Gorge trails – it’s obvious that riding has been at the heart of who and what she is, an intrinsic and integral part of her DNA.

In high school, following her bronze medal at the World Cross Country MTB Championships, Lill changed gears and focused solely on riding, specifically, mountain-biking; where she rose steadily to the top of her league. Claiming a foothold on the podiums, she became a fixture in the first place mountain biking scene. Her national wins include... This story continues... see website faces.africa news post

Sanlam Cape Town Marathon entries opened this mont

Sanlam Cape Town Marathon entries opened this month and we were blown away by the uptake, the number of entries broke all previous opening day entry records. The marathon is an ideal race both for athletes who aim to achieve fast times, wish to beat their previous times and for first-timers who want to finish their inaugural marathon. And, the 6 hours 30-minute cut-off time does accommodate even the social runner.

As we lead up to the event, note that it’s a first entered, first-run policy – in the likely event that total numbers will be restricted. If you did not know, all our events come with a 100% refund policy. @ctmarathon

The knowledge we acquired the hard way yesterday…
Lighthouse to Lighthouse – the route idea stemmed from wanting to run across (our home town) the Cape Peninsula, following as much mountain trail as possible! A route that we estimated would be close to 85km and take in multiple trail sections (with a little road thrown in) - @ryansandes @kanereilly1 / 📸 @craigkolesky
