Ethiopian Tadu Nare of Nedbank is running away with the Spar women’s 10km Grand Prix.
On Saturday morning in Greenpoint, the distance runner demolished the field as she led from beginning to end and crossed the finishing line in a time of 31:28 which is a record for the Cape Town race.
Molotsane finished second in a time of 34:10 which was about six seconds ahead of her Murray & Roberts teammate Cian Oldknow who completed the top three places on the podium. There will be more competition in the third race in Durban next week as defending champion Helalia Johannes, who missed the opening two races as she was recovering from competing in the Olympics is expected to be back.
“It was very cold at the start of the race, so I struggled for the first couple of kilometres. But I preferred this flat course to the one in Pietermaritzburg two weeks ago. I am training for the Barcelona Marathon in November, so I decided to go fast to help me learn to handle the pain,” said Nare who added that she found it easy to run in SA after training at altitude in Ethiopia.
