Xaba aiming for a record-breaking performance at Absa Run Your City Durban 10K

GLENROSE Xaba will be hoping to continue her remarkable form over 10km so far this year when the distance runner lines up for the Absa Run Your City Durban 10K tomorrow.

The notoriously fast, flat route offers the potential for the star of the track and road to dip under 32 minutes for the third time this year.

Xaba will be aiming for her fastest time of the season, and is confident of beating her national 10km record.

The Boxer Athletics Club runner stormed home in a time of 31:12 at the Absa Run Your City Durban 10K last year to take overall fourth place and better Elana Meyer’s 23-year-old national mark.

“Yes. That’s the plan,” was her response to questions about the possibility of setting a new SA record. “I want to write my own history.”

Xaba’s performance in the recent Women’s 10km Challenge in Durban will only add to her belief that she can once again raise the bar.
