24 Year Old Thato Kabedi is set to take on the infamous Rhodes Run, but fortunately his concerns won’t be lying with getting cold…Every year sees the Rhodes Trail Run organizers sponsor a number of entries to local runners from the Rhodes area to encourage running development as well as plough something positive and real back into the local community.

This year is a very special year as it is the 20th running of The Rhodes Trail Run, which has arguably become South Africa’s most prestigious trail running event. Thato Kabedi was one of the local runners identified for his natural talent and although crossing the finish line might not be totally new experience for him having finished 15th in the 2006 race, he certainly will be looking to improve on his past performance thanks to state of the art apparel sponsored by First Ascent.

Run like the wind Thato!
