# Roadrunning: South Africa’s queen of long distances, Gerda Steyn, has set her sights on a seventh Two Oceans Marathon title this weekend, saying she is using expectations as support to strengthen her confidence. She ran the iconic race over 56-kilometres for the first time in 2016 and finished, for her, a disappointing 14th place, but has since won it every time she participated. Thirty-six-year-old Steyn says victory on Saturday would be a dream come true. She holds the record of three-hours-26-minutes-54-seconds, set in 2024.
