Loading player...
As the Vice Chairperson of the Comrades Marathon Association and Chairperson of its Corporate Social Investment and Charities Committee, Nontuthuko Mashimane brings a rare dual perspective both as a leader shaping one of the world’s most iconic ultramarathons and as a runner who understands the physical and emotional journey from the inside.
In this podcast she reflects on how her experience as a runner helps her stay grounded in the needs, concerns, and lived realities of participants. She also shares a powerful message for the unseen backbone of the race, the families, friends, and supporters who stand roadside for hours, carrying runners through every step when legs and spirit begin to fade.
This podcast goes beyond medals and finish lines exploring community, care, and the deeper meaning of endurance, support, and shared victory in the Comrades Marathon story.
