Tjiane wins fourth straight Loskop title
Veteran ultra-distance runner Charles Tjiane strengthened his grip on the 50km Forever Resorts Loskop Marathon on Saturday, winning the popular annual race outside Middelburg for the fourth year in a row.
While the start of the event was delayed due to protests by local residents, according to reports on social media, Tjiane shrugged off the disruption and capitalised on his knowledge of the course, charging to victory in 2:48:55.
He finished nearly four minutes clear of runner-up Kagisa Matjile, who completed the race in 2:52:32.
