73.3 km PB on the road
Mawelly KaMdunge posted a big endurance result — 73.3 km in 6:35:46 at the Kosmos 3‑in‑1 event, finishing 10th in her gender category and earning her 8th medal race recap post.
The Kosmos 3‑in‑1 was staged on March 14, 2026 ([runningcalendar.co.za)] at Lake Umuzi South Bank in Secunda, Mpumalanga ([lakeumuzi.co.za)]. The event’s 73.3 km total is produced by running a 42.2 km marathon at 06:00, a 21.1 km half at 13:00 and a 10 km at 17:00 on the same day ([kosmos3in1.co.za)]. Organisers advertised R100,000 in prize money for the 3‑in‑1 and listed the 73.3 km entry fee at R750 on the race flyer ([kosmos3in1.co.za)]. FinishTime’s published event index shows 3,322 items across the Kosmos results pages, indicating the scale of starters and finishers recorded for the weekend ([results.finishtime.co.za)]. The marathon leg at Kosmos carried a 6‑hour cut‑off and is listed as a Comrades Marathon qualifier on race materials, making the March 14 marathon useful for athletes chasing Comrades entry standards ([runningcalendar.co.za)]. Comrades Marathon 2026 is scheduled for June 14, 2026, and the official qualifying window and rules for that race required sub‑5:00 marathon performances within the qualification period (9 June 2025–4 May 2026) for automatic entry consideration ([comrades.com)].
