With TUKS holding a special place in her heart, Caster Semenya embraced the chance to participate in the Boxer Super Run in Tshwane.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cTUKS holds great memories for me as this club was where I developed as an athlete,\u201d says Semenya<\/em><\/strong>. \u201cBeing back at TUKS fulfils my soul\u2014it has been my home since the start of my running career. Racing here feels incredible, as it\u2019s a world-class facility that brings me peace of mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Semenya believes the Boxer Super Run offers invaluable opportunities for young athletes. \u201cThis event motivates the youth and provides a great platform for the future of sport,\u201d she adds. \u201cThe R147,000 prize purse is fantastic; it boosts morale and gives athletes, especially elites, extra motivation to compete.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cMy goal is to enjoy the moment while competing against the athletes that I coach,\u201d Semenya says with a laugh. \u201cI\u2019m targeting a time of 16:90 and look forward to delivering my best performance.\u201d<\/p>\n

After this race, I\u2019ll finally take the rest I need to be fresh for next year.\u201d<\/p>\n
