Glenrose Xaba, the SA 10km record holder, will take on Tayla Kavanagh, the reigning SA 5,000m and 10,000m champion, in an electrifying Clash of the Champions at the Absa Run Your City Cape Town 10km on Sunday.
Kavanagh is in sensational form, having completed the distance double at the national championships in Stellenbosch last month, producing a dazzling solo 14:58.52 to become only the third SA woman to break the 15-minute barrier.
Globally, womens running is on the rise and its exciting to be a part of that in South Africa, she said. Its exciting to be in a position to run with Glenrose and challenge each other. The competition always helps raise the standards of running.
