According to Sesipi this is his first trail run. “I come from a track and field background. After today’s race I can say that I really enjoy trail running. The course was nice, but tough. I only have speed where Ruan is a very strong runner. This is my first event of 2014 and I am very happy with the win. I’ll definitely be back next year,” said Sesipi. Ruan Meintjies came in second, while Stewart Chaperon finished third.
