Exactly one month after setting a new South African all-comers record and personal best at the Absa RUN YOUR CITY DURBAN 10K, Kenya\u2019s Christine Nalimo Njoki<\/strong> will be aiming for an even more impressive performance when she competes in one of South Africa\u2019s most iconic Women\u2019s Month celebrations, the Totalsports Women\u2019s Race<\/strong> in Durban<\/strong>, this coming Sunday, 04 August 2024<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

“I enjoyed my last race in South Africa and always appreciate competing with fellow women to prove my mental and physical toughness,\u201d says Njoki<\/em><\/strong>. \u201cSo, I am excited to once again race in South Africa, but this time at a women\u2019s-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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Christine<\/a>

She confirms, \u201cI am looking forward to performing well in the race. My goal is to be on the podium.”<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

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\u2019s Debash Desta<\/strong> (10km PB 30:58), Selam Gebre<\/strong> (10km PB 31:42), Diniya Abaraya<\/strong> (10km PB 32:03), and Ebste Btaw<\/strong> (10km PB 32:12), Kenya\u2019s Marion Chepkoech<\/strong>, and South Africa\u2019s Tayla Kavanagh<\/strong> (10km PB 32:10), to name just a few.<\/p>\n
