Thabang is a multiple champion of South African trails and - in the predominantly white trail running community -...

Send us Fan Mail Running isn't exactly the funniest subject (not if you've listened to BBR for a while...) But it seems there is comedy gold in the re-telling of the infamous 1904 Olympic marathon in St Louis. And Nic Sampson is the man to do it.
