MAKING FAMILY PROUD

- MONISHKA GOVENDER

Running against the odds at 70

AT AGE 70, Roy Govender, of Umbilo, is preparing for his first Comrades Marathon.

While he does not know what to expect, he hopes to finish his first 89km race to make his family proud.

Govender, a member of Woodview Athletics Club in Phoenix, said his daughter and son-in-law, who are members of a running club, invited him to participate in a 5km race two years ago.

“They knew I enjoyed keeping active and said I should give running a chance. They said it would be perfect for me.

“It is funny because I had no prior running experience.
