Desert Champions

Maretha and Alwyn of the Namaqua Athletics club have successfully completed the Kalahari Augrabies Extreme Marathon 2011.

After a grueling 10 days of running a marathon in the Kalahari desert, Alwyn has completed the race in 2nd place over all and Maretha was 1st in the woman's league. Congratulations!

After all the hard work, there is nothing better than relaxing under the shade of the Namaqua Gazebo!
