Amanzimtoti runner Saloshni Naidoo is returning to Comrades in 2027 with a goal beyond the finish line — raising at least R10 000 for Rise Against Hunger Africa
Amanzimtoti runner Saloshni Naidoo completed her first Comrades Marathon in 2026, finishing in 11 hours, 32 minutes and 44 seconds. Recognising the 100th edition of the race in 2027 as a significant opportunity, Naidoo plans to return and raise at least R10 000 for Rise Against Hunger Africa. This marks the 50th Down Run of the marathon's official campaign, "The Greatest Story Ever Run".
Naidoo's charitable journey with the ultra-marathon aims to go beyond personal achievement, combining her passion for running with giving back to vulnerable communities. Rise Against Hunger Africa's Fundraising and Events Co-ordinator, Kim Carrington, expressed gratitude for Naidoo's participation, stating that her involvement provides an invaluable platform to spread awareness about hunger and encourage others to contribute.
With personal experience of the hardships faced by many South African families, Naidoo hopes her fundraising efforts will make a tangible difference in the lives of those affected.
