Photo-finish in 2007
This year it was virtually a photo-finish for the top four elite runners as they cycled past the finishing line in 0.1 second intervals.  First came Byron Munyoro in a time of 1 hours 21 minutes and 11 second.  A mere tenth of a second later came Ralph Mthupa followed by Crispen Kazingizi also a tenth of a second later. The fourth cyclist was Mark Hutchings in a time of 1 hour 21 minutes and 14 seconds. 
 


The leading Elite cyclists at the 42 Km peg, 
just off the Johannesburg.  Note how tight the
ace is.

 

And getting better..............
