ABOUT

53rd DIAMOND MARATHON – PRESENTED BY KIMBERLEY HARRIERS

4 MARCH 2023 @ HOËRSKOOL DIAMANTVELD

HISTORY: In 2021, this flat and fast marathon was the first road race in the Northern Cape to return to the road in the second half of the year, after the world went into lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

It was Sarge Ball, George MacCallum and Jimmy Glover who founded Kimberley Harriers Running Club in 1969 to have the necessary club affiliation to allow them to run in the Comrades Marathon. Unfortunately, George & Jimmy passed on. Sarge Ball has completed 23 Comrades Marathons. In 1993 Sarge stopped running Comrades, he called it a day at Polly Shorts. He moved to Scottburgh in 1994 and turned 89 on 28 March. He has become a gym instructor. Enjoys cycling, unfortunately after a hip replacement, he stopped running.

Kimberley Harriers Running Club is the oldest running club in the Northern Cape. The first Diamond Marathon (42,2km race) took place in 1970. It is also regarded as one of the oldest marathons in the country. This year we will host the 53rd consecutive Diamond Marathon, which is also a Comrades & Two Oceans qualifying event.
