AAC captain Warren Gibson said 315 athletes participated in eight races. There had been concerns that the weather might be unfavourable on race day, as it had been raining and cold the previous day.
'The weather played its part, and it didn't rain. Coach Riaan Vosloo and Tronel Nel put together an awesome route for the runners, fast and flat with some soft sand in places. The route was a real tester,' said Gibson.

Serve, rally, connect: Saturday social brings players together
The sound of rackets striking balls and friendly banter fills the air each Saturday afternoon at the Wanderers tennis courts, where community spirit takes centre court. From 14:30 to 18:00, the club opens its doors to members and guests alike for its weekly Saturday social, a laid-back gathering that combines a love for tennis with good company. Read more: St Mary's School, Waverly tennis player reaches finals of the American Express Durban Super 8 Tournament Whether you're a seasoned player or just dusting off your racket for the first time in years, there's a place for you on the court. Typically, four courts come alive with mixed doubles matchups, drawing between 16 to 20 players of all skill levels. Jeffrey Solomon, one of the participants, said: 'The Saturday social is wonderfully run by Oliver Mayhew. He's fair and makes sure everyone gets a chance to play. He pairs people up really well, and you usually get in at least three to four sets. It's always a great time.' So, if you're keen to improve your game, meet new faces, or just enjoy a sunny afternoon outdoors, the Saturday social might be your perfect match.

Red Bull Shay' iMoto static car revs up Durban
RED Bull Shay' iMoto is revving up the hype and excitement ahead of their much-anticipated KZN debut at Suncoast Casino on Sunday, August 10, when the smell of burning rubber will overpower the salt-tinged air of Durban's Golden Mile. The event organisers have announced the 16 drivers that will go head-to-head in the spinning competition. However, before they can get into gear for the competition, the Red Bull Shay' iMoto static car has been doing the rounds in Durban, making all the right noises. The car was a hit in Phoenix, drawing the attention of fans and car enthusiast alike. The static car will also make a stop in Umlazi on Saturday, August 2, at Fresh Stop Mega City and Max's Lifestyle. The event organisers said that this was the perfect way to announce the arrival of the spinning elite who will gather at Suncoast to claim their place in motorsport folklore. 'Durban has always been different. It's where the spinning scene carries its own distinct flavour, influenced by the city's multicultural energy, its proximity to the ocean, and its reputation as the playground of KwaZulu-Natal,' said the organisers. Also Read: Tyre-screeching treat for Durbanites at Red Bull Drift event Among the confirmed line-up are returning champions carrying the weight of expectation, hungry newcomers with nothing to lose, and local heroes finally getting their home ground advantage. 'The Durban crowd will witness battles that extend beyond the track. Old rivalries will reignite under the coastal sun, while new ones are born in the heat of competition. Indeed, the move to Durban represents more than a change of venue, it's a homecoming for a sport that has always belonged to the people,' said the organisers. They added, 'Each driver brings their own story to the tarmac. Some learnt to spin in the shadow of mine dumps, others perfected their craft along beachfront promenades. Some are third-generation spinners, carrying family legacies in their DNA. Others are newcomers who discovered their calling in the smoke and thunder of previous Red Bull Shay' iMoto events.' The list of top 16 drivers includes Boksie, Jabu, Magesh Junior, Makgasa Fire, Robin Fortuin, Sadz – Flyboxin, Skopas / Bad Company, Team 2xspicy JZ, Team Kayla, Team Nevs, Team Osizweni, Team VQ25, Vaaitjie, Ziko and Lockdiff. Tickets are available via Computicket for what promises to be a defining moment in SA motorsport.
