In the words of the great Sipho Marima, did you run today? 🏃‍♀️ One of our Striders sure did, and she just crushed her fastest 5K yet: 36:58. That's a 36-second personal best.

This is what consistency looks like, team. What's your run looking like today?

ROLL CALL 📣 Engcobo Striders, stand up and be counted!

While the rest of the town was still under the blankets, our Striders were already out there greeting the sun.

From the 5am start times to the sunrise finishes, this club does not sleep in. Whether it was a steady 5km around the block, a strong 10km with the legs feeling fast, a half marathon PR, or a big 30km long run building towards something bigger, every single kilometre logged this week tells the same story: discipline before the world even wakes up.

To the ones chasing new personal bests. To the ones grinding through the tough middle kilometres when the pace wants to slip. To the ones who simply showed up when the bed was warm and the road was cold. This is what Engcobo Striders is built on.

Drop a 🔥 in the comments and tell us: what did your legs do this week?

Red and white till we're old and grey. 🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♂️

Medal Monday🏅🔴⚪

Another weekend, another finish line conquered. Our Striders showed up and showed out at the Absa Run Your City Tshwane 10K, and crossed the line all the way in Middelburg too. Two medals, one proud club.

To every woman who laced up: we see you. Every kilometre logged is a step closer to greatness, and this club will always celebrate the wins, big or small.

Keep running, keep rising. 🏃🏾‍♀️

Another beautiful Saturday of movement 🌅
Our members were out across the country today, from Middelburg to East London, chasing personal bests and building healthy habits one kilometre at a time. Ukuzimisela kukhona apha, and it shows.
Proud of every single one of you who laced up today. Big or small, every run counts.

Pha e Mpumalanga, the place of the rising sun, Engcobo Striders is represented by our own Viwe!

Viwe Ngubo took on the road in Steve Tshwete Local Municipality last weekend, and she did not come to play. 24.01km covered at a pace of 7:31/km, and she walked away with a shiny new PR, her fastest half marathon time ever, shaving off 6 minutes and 45 seconds!

Medal around her neck, big smile on her face, and that number 789 on her chest tells the whole story: discipline, consistency and heart. This is what happens when an Engcobo Striders athlete steps out, wherever she is in the country, and puts in the work.

Wherever our members go, they carry the club with them. Well done, Viwe. You have made us proud.
Akho magwala eNgcobo. Halala!

WASHIE FINISH. 🏁

That banner behind him says it all. 161km, and Siya crossed it. From the hugs at the line to the squad rushing in to celebrate, this is what it looks like when Engcobo Striders shows up for one of our own.

We came, we stood at that finish line, and we watched our Chairman etch his name into Washie history.

Halala Siya! The squad was there for every second of it. 🎽❤️💚

Excuse us, we're still here and we're still celebrating. 🏆🎽

These are some of the moments when our Chairman Siya Gadu was crowned with his trophy and got the prestigious Washie 100 Miler jacket. 161km of pure grit, and he wore it like it was nothing.

Halala Chairman! We see you, we celebrate you, and we're not done yet.

The only that matters is the one where a Strider carried Cathcart all the way to East London on their legs and lived to tell the story. 161 kilometers of road. Not a typo. Not a relay. One man, one road, 161k. Put some respect on his name!

161k is not a race, it's a covenant between you and the road. Senzwa, you ran through the heat, through the dark, through every excuse your body gave you to stop, and you said "hayi, andiyeki." Not today. Not for 161 kilometers.

While the rest of us were sleeping, dreaming, scrolling... Taka was out there turning Cathcart to East London into his personal testimony, one kilometer at a time, 161 times over.

Engcobo Striders, lift this one up for our own. 🥇🏃🏾
