Shaliaxwe retains 2022 Rössing virtual marathon title
Jeremia Shaliaxwe retained his title as the 42km men-open category champion in a time of 02:24:00.00, while Anna Amutoko secured the title as the new 42km ladies-open category champion in a time of 02:43:19.
The event which was held under the theme Live to run, Run to live, marks the second virtual marathon hosted by Rössing Uranium as the mine continues to promote healthy and active lifestyles.
Both athletes will receive N$20,000 cash prize monies in addition to the N$20,000 development bonus.
“A virtual marathon is challenging because runners are all on their own, with no water points, no road marshals and running on different road terrains,” Rössing Uranium’s manager Corporate Communication Daylight Ekandjo said while congratulating the participants.
Daylight added that Rössing Uranium is committed to continuing hosting the marathon in the best format that will benefit stakeholders and is hopeful that 2023 will allow Rössing Uranium to host a physical event.
