As the 98th edition of the legendary Comrades Marathon heads into its critical stage, South African ultrarunner Onalenna Khokhobe—from Sekhing village near Taung—has surged into the lead, showcasing remarkable strength and determination.
About 90 minutes into the ultramarathon, Khokhobe stood out at the forefront, confidently carrying the pack through Camperdown as the race descended from Pietermaritzburg to the coastal city of Durban . The 27‑year‑old long-distance runner, who hails from rural Taung, has captivated spectators and fellow athletes alike with his relentless downhill momentum.
A year ago, Khokhobe made headlines as an exciting “entertainer” on race day, pushing the leading group hard during the Down Run . Today, his tactics appear both strategic and effective, cementing his status among South Africa’s emerging elite ultramarathoners.
