The Mountain Drive Half Marathon was a gruelling 21km run that took on the steep climb towards Grahamstowns toposcope. Elisa Kirigin and Duncan Ruck proved that the daily climb of the stairs to the second floor of the department had been great training for the event, with both members placing within the first 100 runners (of a field of 400) to cross the line. Elisa ran particularly well and was the 5th women to finish, in a time of 1 hr 49 minutes.
