Roadrunning: Four UP staff members set to take on the Comrades Marathon to support students

# Roadrunning: Four University of Pretoria staff members are set to tackle South Africa’s most famous ultramarathon, the Comrades Marathon, to raise funds for students facing financial difficulties. More than 80 nations will be represented in the race, a down-run over approximately 89 kilometres from Pietermaritzburg to Durban on Sunday. Proceeds raised by doctor Bianca Frost, Josiah Mavundla, Mfundo Nyitana and professor André Ganswindt will benefit the Vice-Chancellor and Principal’s Scholarship Fund. The university says these runners remind everyone that any goal worth achieving takes time and endurance.
