Caster Semenya set to go head-to-head with protégés at Boxer Super Run Tshwane


RW Reporter |

In an exciting twist, South African middle-distance legend and celebrated coach Caster Semenya is set to make her Boxer Super Run debut in Tshwane this coming Sunday, 10 November 2024. Adding to the excitement, Semenya’s fiercest competition will come from none other than Glenrose Xaba, Karabo More, Karabo Mailula and Karabo Motsoeneng – all of whom are coached by both Caster and Ledile Violet Semenya.

With TUKS holding a special place in her heart, Caster Semenya embraced the chance to participate in the Boxer Super Run in Tshwane.

“TUKS holds great memories for me as this club was where I developed as an athlete,” says Semenya. “Being back at TUKS fulfils my soul – it has been my home since the start of my running career. Racing here feels incredible, as it’s a world-class facility that brings me peace of mind.”

“My goal is to enjoy the moment while competing against the athletes that I coach,” Semenya says with a laugh. “I’m targeting a time of 16:90 and look forward to delivering my best performance.”

After winning and setting a new national record at the Cape Town Marathon in her debut race, Xaba is ready to rest  – but only after taking on the Super Run.
