Stuart Marais – Nicholas Rupanga<\/p><\/div>\n

After two days of challenging trail running at the Mountain Warrior Trail Run Challenge presented by Brooks, multi sport athlete Stuart Marais claimed victory when he completed the 38km Jonkershoek SKY RUN on Saturday, 31 August 2013 and the 25km Simonsberg Challenge on Sunday, 01 September 2013 in an impressive combined time of 06hours12minutes54seconds.<\/p>\n

According to Marais the Mountain Warrior Challenge was fantastic.\u00a0 \u201cI really enjoyed taking part.\u00a0 Running against Nicholas Rupanga today in the Simonsberg Challenge was great.\u00a0 Nicholas would get away from me on the climbs, but then I\u2019d make up time on the flat sections.\u00a0 Although I really enjoyed today\u2019s single track, my favourite part of the event is still having run in the snow on Day One.\u00a0 We are really blessed to be able to run in such an amazing area.\u00a0 I will definitely be back next year,\u201d says Marais.\u00a0 Samuel Holtzkampf placed second in the Mountain Warrior Challenge, while Allan McCreadie finished third.<\/p>\n

The Mountain Warrior Challenge formed part of the Mountain Warrior Trail Run Festival presented by Brooks.<\/p>\n

Accomplished trail runner Nicholas Rupanga was victorious in the 25km Simonsberg Challenge crossing the finish line in an impressive time of 01hour52minutes45seconds.\u00a0 \u201cThis is my first race back from injury.\u00a0 I\u2019m a little rusty,\u201d said Rupanga.\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019m very happy to be back.\u00a0 It\u2019s unfortunate that I could not defend my title at the Mountain Warrior Challenge though.\u00a0 I love Mountain Warrior, I feel at home here.\u00a0 The competitors are awesome, so are the organisers and the route.\u00a0 Stellenbosch is the place to be\u201d.\u00a0 Stuart Marais came in second, while Eddie Lambert finished third.<\/p>\n

Theresa Fourie was the lady to beat in the 25km Simonsberg Challenge crossing the finish line in a deserving time of 02hours12minutes59seconds.\u00a0 Louisa Botha came in second, while Ronel Nattrass finished third.<\/p>\n
