Hollywood Durban 10km Set for Clash of Generations

Adnaan MohamedNewsLeave a Comment on Hollywood Durban 10km Set for Clash of Generations

By Adnaan Mohamed

Stephen Mokoka arrives at the Hollywoodbets Durban 10km not as a man winding down, but as a statesman of South African road running … still racing, still teaching. At 40, with four Olympic Games, multiple World Championships, and five Shanghai Marathon victories behind him, the long-distance legend is not here for farewells. Instead, he’s at Kingsmead Stadium to test himself against the next wave, while offering them a warning.

“Many youngsters are racing too often and training too hard,” Mokoka cautioned at the pre-race press conference.

“That leads to muscle strain and long-term injuries. If you’re supposed to get 20 to 30 years out of your legs, you can cut that down to just five. You may be the best now, but once your body breaks down, people forget you quickly.”

It was advice delivered with the kind of gravity only a two-decade career can lend. Mokoka knows the traps: the lure of prize money, the rush of early success, the temptation to burn too brightly.

“Race less, stay healthy, and you’ll last longer,” he added.

“Money will always run faster than you, let the banks keep it safe. Your health and longevity matter more.”

The timing of his message is pointed. Saturday’s Durban 10km has sold out with a record 12 000 entries and boasts the richest prize purse in the country for the distance: R357 500., with the men’s and women’s winners each pocketing R37,500.

Ambition will be in the air, but Mokoka insists he’s not just there to preach. He wants a top-10 finish, still hungry to prove that his legs, though seasoned, are far from finished.

Kavanagh Chasing the Pace

If Mokoka embodies endurance, Taylor Kavanagh is South Africa’s rising flame. At 23, the Hollywood Athletics Club runner has already carved her place among the nation’s best. She showed her class by winning the Durban International 10km earlier this year, clocking a sub-32-minute at the Totalsports Women’s 10km, and taking victory in Pietermaritzburg’s Spar 10km.

Now she lines up on home streets with her eyes on a lifetime best. With Glenrose Xaba, the national record-holder at 31:12, headlining the women’s field, Kavanagh knows the opportunity is real.

“Since this is a home race, I’m more excited than pressured,” said Kavanagh .

“I know Glenrose is targeting another national record, and that kind of pace will definitely pull the rest of us to faster times. She’s in terrific form. When you run with someone like that, you brace yourself for a PB or at least a really fast run.”

Her personal best of 31:53 already places her among the elite, but Kavanagh believes progress comes through collective effort.

“Women’s running in South Africa is growing rapidly,” she said. “The more we work together, the more we can achieve. Running with Neheng [Khatala] to break that sub-32 barrier was special. It shows that when women push each other, great things happen.”

The women’s race promises fireworks: Kavanagh’s teammate and defending champion Neheng Khatala returns, while Boxer Running Club’s Karabo Mailula and Karabo More will press the pace. For Kavanagh, the challenge is not only to keep up, but to thrive.

The Passing of Torches

When the starter’s gun fires at 7:30am, the Durban 10km will be a clash of philosophies: Mokoka’s seasoned voice urging patience, preservation, and the long game, against Kavanagh’s youthful surge, chasing personal bests and fresh milestones.

For some, the prize purse will be the target; for others, it’s about personal markers. But in the larger story of South African road running, Saturday represents something deeper. It’s about the the endurance of careers, the rise of new stars, and the eternal chase against time itself.

The race will be broadcast live on SABC, bringing the spirit of the Purple Team to South African homes.

Next stop after Durban is Joburg on Saturday, 13 September.

Running with Rory

Roxanne MartinColumnsLeave a Comment on Running with Rory

Champions! The funniest thing happened to me this afternoon. I was sitting, minding my own lazy business, when I saw a message come through from Richard from Modern Athlete – he’s the guy in the cow suit. 

The message read, and I quote: “Dude, hope all is magic on your side and you’re loving your Toyota! Please can you send me your video and article?”

And then for seven seconds, I went completely blank. What video and article is this oke looking for? About what? Where am I? What’s going on? And then hit me! This is about RUNNING! But I haven’t been running in what feels like decades! The last thing I can remember about running was fighting for my life somewhere between PMB and Durban, convinced I was never going to make the 12-hour cut-off. 

How am I going to produce a video AND an article for Modern Athlete on running when I don’t even know where my running shoes are? And then I remembered the last time we chatted was before the Comrades Marathon, so technically I HAVE been running since I last put my thoughts on this very page, so I’ll tell you about that 89.98km run!

Champions, I’m not going to lie or candy-coat anything; the 8th of June 2025 was one of the toughest days of my life. We’re all friends here, so I’ll tell you how it started. With about 30 minutes until the start, my tummy started saying it needed to go! As runners, we all know that desperate feeling.

Now I’m 14 million people deep in a starting pen, and there is absolutely no chance I’m getting out and finding a portaloo and then getting back in time. So, I decided to hold it. I mean, there’ll be toilets somewhere during the first few kilometres, surely?

And, as luck would have it, there were portaloos about 5km into the race. And they were positioned right on a corner where there was a massive crowd of people cheering. Nothing better than an audience as you prepare to let loose. I dropped a gear, put on my indicator and pulled off the road. There was a queue at the toilets. Of course, there was. So, I had to wait. 

I eventually had my turn. What a relief. I sat there, almost forgetting I still had 85km to run. Not sure how long I was in there, as I think I zoned out at the relief of it all. And then I heard it. It was so loud, it made me jump up. It was silent. I was sitting in a portaloo on Comrades Marathon race day and couldn’t hear anyone. 

I opened the door and as I reinstated myself back into reality, I realised there were absolutely no runners left. I was now literally right at the back. As in, I was stone last. And it’s not like the other runners were close either. They were at least a kilometre ahead as I looked up the hill that awaited me. 

But that wasn’t the worst of it. The stress and anxiety of being last of over 20,000 runners was the least of my worries. As I came out from behind the row of portaloos, and wanted to just slip back into the race quietly without anyone noticing me, I heard the crowds erupt! It was like I had just won the whole race! The cheering was next level. 

And then it hit me: They all knew I was in there, and they were waiting for me to come out. But how long was I even in that portaloo? Where was I? Who was I? At that point, I hardly knew, but one thing’s for sure. I had never before the 8th of June 2025, been applauded for having a poo! I love you. 2-nils.

The Long Run to Redemption

From the Cape Flats to Comrades Glory, Denver van der Bergh’s epic 1680 kilometre journey of hope. By Adnaan Mohamed

Everyday for the past 35 days, my phone has lit up with a message from a man who, by every metric, should not be alive—let alone running the length of a country. But Denver van der Bergh is not merely alive. He is ablaze.

He sends me updates from the side of dusty roads, from inside blistered shoes, with sweat streaking his face and his voice steady with fire. Each message is a verse in a larger hymn—an unfolding gospel of grit, grace, and glorious resurrection.

Denver, 48, has just completed the first chapter of what he calls The Serenity Run, a 1,680km spiritual odyssey on foot from Cape Town to Pietermaritzburg, culminating this Sunday in the 89km Comrades Marathon.

But this isn’t just a long-distance run. It’s a thunderous testament to the human capacity to climb out of hell barefoot—and keep running.

“There’s already so much suffering in the world. I just wanted to spread a little hope.” Denver says proudly.

FROM COLD STREETS TO BURNING PURPOSE

He didn’t start this journey on a starting line. He started in the dark.

Denver grew up in the Cape Flats, where dreams are often smothered by survival. His early years were marred by trauma—the kind of silent, slow poison that rots from the inside.

 “I blamed myself when my grandfather died,” he told me once, the way someone might mention a long-healed scar. “I stopped believing… in everything.”

By 23, he was deep in addiction. Alcohol first, then drugs—a slow drip that pulled him under for 25 years. His life was a series of burning bridges.

“I thought it was a habit. But it was a cage. I kept trying to unlock it with shame, but shame only built more bars.”

He attempted to take his life. He didn’t want to run anymore. Until someone—an employer, not a therapist—offered him a choice: face the music, or seek help.

THE FIRST STEP

Ramot Treatment Centre in Parow didn’t look like salvation. But it felt like it.

“There was no judgment,” he said. “Just people who had seen the darkness, and survived it. That’s when I knew I wasn’t a monster. I was a man with pain that hadn’t been named yet.”

In recovery, he discovered the Serenity Prayer. God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change… It wasn’t just a prayer. It was a map. And Denver decided to follow it—one trembling, blistered step at a time.

THE FIRE RETURNS

At Ramot, he started jogging.

What began as playful laps around the rehab garden became races. Then rituals. Then redemption.

“I started chasing something again,” he told me once. “But this time, it wasn’t an escape. It was a return—to myself.”

The races came. Two Oceans. Comrades. And then, this year, something monumental: to mark five years of sobriety, Denver decided to run from Cape Town to Pietermaritzburg… and then lace up for his back-to-back Comrades Marathon.

“I wanted to give back to the place that gave me my life. To raise R500,000 for Ramot. To show someone out there—you, maybe—that it’s possible to come back from the brink.”

A RUN LIKE NO OTHER

Every day for 35 days, Denver has pounded the tar. Alone. Carrying nothing but a GPS tracker, a small team on call, and a heart like a war drum.

Fifty kilometres a day. Hills that bite like wolves. Heat that bakes through bone. Days when his calves locked like iron gates. Nights when sleep slipped through fingers made for prayer.

“I’ve had moments where I felt like quitting,” he messaged me once, somewhere in the Eastern Cape, after pushing 73km in a single day to make up for a day lost after picking up an injury. 

“But then I remember—I’m not running away anymore. I’m running toward something.”

Each kilometre was a step into healing. Each road sign, a reminder that the past may chase us, but we are not obligated to stop and greet it.

“I’M FIVE YEARS SOBER BECAUSE SOMEONE ONCE REACHED OUT TO HELP ME”

That’s what Denver told me on day 29, in a gravel lay-by, while a storm rolled in behind him. I saved the voice note. I still listen to it when I need reminding.

There is nothing ordinary about this man. Not his smile, which now glows like sunrise on stained glass. Not his journey, which reads like scripture scribbled in sweat. And certainly not his message, which echoes louder with every step:

“We write off addicts too easily,” he says. “But addiction isn’t failure. It’s untreated pain. I’m proof that healing is possible. That broken doesn’t mean beyond repair.”

THE FINAL STRETCH

After running the first five kilometres with his Celtic Harriers club mates from Rondebosch Common in Cape Town on 1 May, Denver arrived in Pietermaritzburg just after 9 a.m. on Thursday 5 June, legs weary but spirit unshaken.

Members of the Collegian Harriers met him at Southgate Mall and escorted him for the final 3.9km to Comrades House.

Now, he rests. But not for long.

On Sunday, he’ll face the Comrades Marathon, the iconic 89km stretch between PMB and Durban. For most, it’s a mountain. For Denver, it’s the home stretch of a resurrection.

THE DREAM THAT BECAME REALITY

Denver often describes his journey as “running through fire to find the ocean.” And indeed, every kilometre of The Serenity Run has been a baptism by flame.

But here he stands—scarred, smiling, and stronger than ever—ankle-deep in a tide of hope.

“THIS ISN’T JUST A RUN. IT’S A RESURRECTION.”

That’s how he put it in one of his early messages to me, back when we both knew what lay ahead, but not what would rise from it.

I’ve watched this man climb out of his past like a phoenix scraping skyward. I’ve felt the crackle of that fire with every update. And I’ve come to believe what Denver proves every single day: That pain is not the end of the story. It’s the beginning of purpose.

So on Sunday, when the record 22 000 Comrades field surges forward, look for the man who’s already outrun his demons. He won’t be at the front.

He won’t be at the back. He’ll be somewhere in the middle—steady, radiant, running not away from something, but into everything he was meant to become.

Fresh faces and familiar winners feature on day 2 of SA champs

Roxanne MartinNewsLeave a Comment on Fresh faces and familiar winners feature on day 2 of SA champs

Read Time 4min

Zeney Geldenhuys cruised to a fifth national 400m hurdles title on the second day of the SA Senior Track and Field Championships in Potchefstroom on Friday. 

With fellow Olympic semifinalist Rogail Joseph ruled out with a hamstring injury, Geldenhuys had no trouble in securing the gold, taking the win in 55.09 seconds. Rising star Tumi Ramokgopa was second in 55.90 – dipping under 56 seconds for the first time before returning to the track a few hours later for her heat of the 100m hurdles, which she won comfortably in 13.67 seconds.

“Today was about defending my title and I’m very happy with the first place,” said Zeney. “And the time is not bad as well, so that means the sub-55 and sub-54 is coming closer each race and I’m very excited about that.”

Tumi gave credit to Zeney for her best time ever.

“She was the one I was chasing,” explained the matric student. “My gratitude goes to her, if it wasn’t for her, I don’t think I would have run such a good time. She pushed me really hard. She’s one of my role models and I really appreciate running with her.”

While Zeney is a regular on top of the podium, one man making his way there for the first time was an athlete six years her senior, Sabelo Dhlamini.

The 30-year-old was thrilled to secure the men’s 400m hurdles title in a 48.57 seconds – taking .17 of a second off his previous best and missing out on the automatic qualifying mark for the world championships by just .07 of a second.

“I feel exhausted, but I’m very happy, very jubilant I’d say, because we’ve been putting in so many hours. I think I’ve been chasing this title for the last four years,” he said afterwards.

Also claiming a first-ever national title was 2017 U18 world champion Breyton Poole. He secured the men’s high jump gold on countback from Tshepang Dankuru with a clearance of 2.20m with Brian Raats and Mpho Links sharing the bronze on 2.15m.

“Today wasn’t about height, it was about getting that title and I think most importantly working hard towards the end. Countbacks proved to be the decider, so I think it was a good competition all round, I’m happy with it,” said an elated Breyton afterwards.

“It took me seven years to get here, but it was worth the wait.”

There was also plenty to celebrate for 17-year-old Leendert Koekemoer, who set a new SA under-20 record in the 400m. He finished second in his semifinal behind Gardeo Isaacs in 45.03 to better the previous mark set by Riaan Dempers 31 years ago.

“I didn’t expect that at all,” he admitted afterwards. “I knew it was in me, but I didn’t think it could have been today. But ja, I’m quite glad about it.”

There was no fairytale return to the national championships for 2017 world champion Luvo Manyonga who has battled his way back from drug addiction and a doping ban. He finished sixth in the men’s long jump final with a best leap of 7.68m. Instead, it was Jovan van Vuuren, who has made a comeback of his own from a career-threatening injury, who reclaimed the title he last won in 2022 with a leap of 8.00m.

“It’s special, especially missing out last year with the national championships with the injury, so bouncing back now and reclaiming my title, it’s special for me,” said Jovan afterwards, also paying tribute to his rival on his return.

“I’m glad he’s back, especially with young athletes looking up to Luvo. These guys we’re jumping against now got inspired by Luvo. So to jump against your role model it’s special… You know he’s got the capabilities of jumping big jumps and I think we’ll be back and jumping eight [metres] in no time.”

Earlier in the day, there was heartbreak for Gift Leotlela after pulling up in the heats of the 200m. Having secured the 100m title on Thursday, the newly crowned champion reportedly suffered a muscle tweak and should be back in action soon. 

How Support Drives South Africa’s Marathon Queen, Gerda Steyn

Tanika LaskeyFeatures, NewsLeave a Comment on How Support Drives South Africa’s Marathon Queen, Gerda Steyn

adidas is excited to announce the release of the first episode of their brand campaign, ‘Plus One Effect’. The six-part series explores the stories of distinguished athletes and the vital role of their ‘Plus Ones’, the supporters who shaped their journeys from the sideline. Their presence changes the game, turning doubt into confidence and pressure into joy.

Building onto the success of the 2024 ‘You Got This’ launch, the 2025 campaign highlights the power of encouragement, revealing that 4 in 5 athletes face unhelpful sideline behavior, which can lead them to leave sports. Rooted in the universal truth that every athlete needs someone in their corner, the campaign highlights how a strong support system can be the difference between success and self-doubt. As one of South Africa’s most celebrated long-distance runners, Gerda’s story is deeply rooted in the local running community. With five consecutive victories at the Two Oceans Marathon, Gerda is ready to chase her sixth, backed by the unwavering support of those who believe in her. While her determination and training have shaped her success, her story proves that behind every athlete, there’s a ‘Plus One’ cheering them on.

Gerda’s journey is one of resilience, dedication, and an unshakable belief in what’s possible – one she hasn’t taken alone. At the heart of her success is her husband, Duncan Ross, who has been by her side every step of the way. From handling race-day logistics and refining training plans to pacing her runs by cycling alongside her, assisting with nutrition and hydration, and keeping her motivated during the long miles, his support has been instrumental to her journey.

Gerda is celebrated as a three-time Comrades Marathon champion, five-time Two Oceans Marathon winner, course record holder, and two-time Olympian (Marathon – 2021/2024). Yet, behind her remarkable achievements, Duncan’s invaluable role often goes unnoticed. She attributes much of her success to the constant belief and encouragement from those working behind the scenes, demonstrating that a strong support system drives every record-breaking performance. “Running has been a journey we’ve embarked on together. From my early days as a social runner to making the leap into professional running, Duncan has been by my side through it all,” says Gerda Steyn. “The highs in this sport are incredible, but the lows can be tough. Having Duncan there through every triumph and setback has made all the difference.”

Gerda is not just running for her sixth title; she is running to inspire. She trusts in the adidas Adizero Pro 4, the world’s most winning marathon shoe, engineered for speed and peak performance, giving her the confidence to push beyond limits.

‘Plus One’ is more than an adidas global campaign; it’s a tribute to the people who make every win possible. adidas aims to spark a global movement of positivity, reminding every athlete that belief starts from the sidelines. After all, we all need someone to make us believe… you got this!
