Ep 218 - Thabang Madiba on the South African trailing running scene

Thabang Madiba is one inspirational guy.

From a deprived township, his path into trail running wasn't exactly easy. Living no-one nears mountains, Thabang had to - and still does - cycle miles and miles to get to trail races.

And then he wins them. A lot of them.

Thabang is a multiple champion of South African trails and - in the predominantly white trail running community - he has dominated and became the first black athlete to represent South Africa in trail running.

In this episode, Jody and David speak to Thabang about his path to trail running and the South African trail running scene.

Enjoy!
