Durban - Ultra athlete Steve Black completed his 1950km "Coastal Challenge" charity race from Cape point to Durban nineteen hours behind his surfski rival Clyde Barendse exhausted but exhilarated.

Like the race winner Barendse, who paddled into the DUC beach at 6:30 on Thursday evening after snatching victory with an epic 125km final days paddle, Black was met on the line by cancer fighter Nikki "Lettie" Heyns, who was the inspiration and focus of the endurance event.

Durban – Endurance athletes Steve Black and Clyde Barendse are close to completing a gruelling 2000km race from Cape Point to Durban which involved with Black running alongside the shoreline and Barendse paddling a surfski, to raise funds and awareness for cancer sufferer Lettie Heyns.
