Exxaro runners participate in the Comrades Marathon

On Sunday 8 June 2025, Exxaro employees participated in the world-renowned Comrades marathon. This year’s 85,91 km “down run” from Pietermaritzburg to Durban is the ultimate test of endurance, mental strength and human spirit.  

Ahead of the race, a heartfelt send-off event was held at The conneXXion, creating a moment of unity, motivation, and encouragement as our runners prepared to represent Exxaro with pride.  

Congratulations to all our Exxaro runners - your commitment, grit, and determination have inspired us all!
