MOSSEL BAY NEWS AND GALLERY - George athlete Lloyd Bosman won the Investgold Two Lagoons, hosted by Cape Multisport Eden, on Saturday, 14 May, at Klipheuwel Padstal in Little Brak River.
The race was initially scheduled for 7 May, but with inclement weather and poor visibility on the day, it was moved to last weekend.
A field of about 250 runners started the 21,1km and 10km races. Investgold, the main sponsor of the event, sponsored a set of rare metal coins worth R4 500 to the winner, a silver Krugerrand and silver Big Five coin worth R1 600 to the runner-up, and a collector's silver Big Five coin worth R800 to the third-placed runner.
