Celebrating its 10th<\/sup> anniversary at the ATKV Buffelspoort on Sunday 04 June 2023, the Fedhealth Platinum Trail Run <\/strong>has attracted the attention of \u2018pro trail runner turned roadie turned coach\u2019, Rory Scheffer (Hurlingham, Johannesburg).<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to taking part in my first Fedhealth Platinum Trail Run,\u201d says Scheffer. \u201cI’ve heard that the event attracts quite a competitive field, so I can\u2019t wait to race some of the strongest\u00a0trail runners in the area. I\u2019ve also never been to the area before, so I’m excited to explore\u00a0the trails there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy goal is to do as well as I can,\u201d confirms Scheffer. \u201cHaving not done the event before I will play it safe and run within\u00a0myself. I\u2019ll see where that puts me. Hopefully I\u2019ll get a podium finish.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scheffer will face tough competition from defending Champion, Collin Kanyimo (Pretoria East) and Alberton runner, Retsepile<\/em>\u00a0Khotle. When asked about his goal for race day, Khotle replied: \u201cThe lion is hungry.\u201d<\/p>\n
