Johnson ran 33:54 to win ahead of Cox (34:30) and D’Andrade (36:14). D’Andrade said that “after suffering severe cramps in the Suriname Srefidensi Marathon on November 21 and being forced to drop out halfway into the 26.2 miles course, I still struggled in the 10k and felt my legs cramping up a bit”.
“Kelvin and I were in the lead, and after two miles, I started feeling the cramps and dropped my pace because I wanted to at least finish the 10k race. My time was slow, but I needed to finish this one as the race calendar is closing off,” D’Andrade admitted.
The event, which is called SHINE, an acronym for “Securing Hope for Those In Need” is geared towards raising funds to secure hope for those in need. All of the proceeds from the event will go towards different charities. The event had about 3,500 participants all running and walking for a good cause for the festive season.
