Toti runner Saloshni Naidoo targets R10 000 charity goal at 100th Comrades

Amanzimtoti runner Saloshni Naidoo has completed the 2026 Comrades Marathon, finishing in 11 hours, 32 minutes and 44 seconds. Rather than concluding her Comrades journey, Naidoo plans to return for the landmark 100th edition of the ultra-marathon on June 13, 2027, aiming to raise at least R10,000 for Rise Against Hunger Africa.

This initiative reflects her commitment to combining her love for long-distance running with giving back to vulnerable communities, a cause she has championed through her involvement with Love 2 Run AC. The non-profit sector has warmly welcomed Naidoo's participation, recognizing it as a vital opportunity to raise awareness about hunger and encourage others to join the cause.
