Gerda Steyn will line up in Cape Town on April 11 chasing a seventh consecutive Two Oceans Ultra title, a streak that would further cement her as one of South Africa’s defining endurance athletes. Her build-up has included training blocks alongside emerging runner Omuhle Kubheka, a partnership that signals both confidence and a subtle shift in how champions shape the sport around them.
