 “The country once performed well in long distance races but now it is no longer the same as we seem to have given focus to short distances. Now we believe it is the right time to attend to the challenge and we are hopeful that people will come all out to support and realise the dream of winning big at international events in the long distances,” he said.
MAC coach Muzi Mabuza said the country once dominated in long distance races but the standards have dropped in the past years.
