Hundreds of athletes from across South Africa participated in the Langebaan Country Estate Marathon on Saturday, March 14, 2020, which took place in fantastic weather.
It was also the last major event on the west coast before the government stopped all sporting events from Thursday 19 March, due to the COVID – 19 Coronavirus currently affecting the world’s nations.
