Exactly one month after setting a new South African all-comers record and personal best at the Absa RUN YOUR CITY DURBAN 10K, Kenya’s Christine Nalimo Njoki will be aiming for an even more impressive performance when she competes in one of South Africa’s most iconic Women’s Month celebrations, the Totalsports Women’s Race in Durban, this coming Sunday, 04 August 2024.
In setting a new South African all-comers record in July this year, the 24-year-old clocked in at 30:37, marking the fastest 10km time of her career.
“I enjoyed my last race in South Africa and always appreciate competing with fellow women to prove my mental and physical toughness,” says Njoki. “So, I am excited to once again race in South Africa, but this time at a women’s-only event. Women-only races are very important as they allow women to showcase their dominance in the sport independently and encourage others to compete at the same level. It is a great honor for female runners to compete among themselves and prove their skill. The race is a positive gesture and encouraging for young girls in society.”
She confirms, “I am looking forward to performing well in the race. My goal is to be on the podium.”
In closing, Njoki had the following message to share: “I want to tell all women competing that it is a new era for us to run faster, challenge ourselves, and even break new records.”
Njoki will need to put her best foot forward on race day, as there is an impressive lineup of athletes ready to compete including the likes of: Ethiopia’s Debash Desta (10km PB 30:58), Selam Gebre (10km PB 31:42), Diniya Abaraya (10km PB 32:03), and Ebste Btaw (10km PB 32:12), Kenya’s Marion Chepkoech, and South Africa’s Tayla Kavanagh (10km PB 32:10), to name just a few.

But the thought leaders on talk radio and Fox do more than shape opinion. Backed by their own wing of the book-publishing industry and supported by think tanks that increasingly function as public-relations agencies, conservatives have built a whole alternative knowledge system, with its own facts, its own history, its own laws of economics. – David Frum
