Phalula twins Totalsports Womens Race Winners

Durban – Top runners and newly selected PUMA ambassadors, Lebo and Lebogang Phalula were a symbol of unity on Sunday, 19 July 2015 when they completed the 10km Totalsports Womens Race in an impressive time of 33 minutes 44 seconds. Running for Boxer Athletics Club, the sisters crossed the finish line at the Berea Rovers Sports Club holding hands.

According to Lebo, the plan was to take it easy on the day. “We had a really nice race. Lebogang and I decided to take it easy. Instead of running against each other we wanted to run together and cross the finish line together. We are really proud and privileged to be PUMA ambassadors. The sponsorship has motivated me to train harder. 2015 has been a good year for us”.

“It was wonderful running in PUMA shoes, they’re so comfortable,” said a very happy Lebogang. “The Totalsports Women’s Race route in Durban is fast and flat. I always enjoy running here. With Rutendo and Nolene being really fit there was quite a lot of competition, but I felt comfortable running with my sister and crossing the finish line together. The event was really well organised. I love it”.RutendoNyahora came in second, while Nolene Conrad finished third.

All Totalsports Women’s Race entrants received an exclusive fitted Tee, while finisher’s bracelets were handed to runners and walkers as they crossed the finish line.Acclaimed Durban based hip-hop group, Dream Team closed off the celebrations with a spectacular live performance.
