ATHLETICS NEWS - Ultra-distance runner Caroline Wöstmann will not defend her Comrades Marathon up-run title on June 4 after losing a race against time to recover from a hamstring injury.

Wöstmann has made the difficult decision to withdraw from the 2017 Comrades Marathon on advice from her medical team.

Suffering a hamstring injury at last month’s Old Mutual Two Oceans, Wöstmann undertook an intensive rehabilitation regime with the hopes of defending her up-run title.

“Despite aggressive recovery treatments and rehab to the injury it hasn’t healed sufficiently to allow me to safely compete at Comrades this year,” Wöstmann said.
