The South African based Musonda came ahead of last year winner, Boiphemelo Selagaboy as well as Godiraone Nthompe. The two BDF Athletic Club runners came second and third with times of 00:49:42 and 00:50:26 respectively. The trio had assumed the lead from the first loop of the race around the PPC plant throughout the flat terrain to the foot of Kgale Hill where they ascended ahead of everyone.
Musonda was however, seconds ahead on the downhill and managed to beat his closest competitors to the line just before the sprint stretch. Gaborone Runners Club (GRC) dominated in the women category with Onkemetse Solotate crowned queen of the hill with a time of 01:04:36. Second and third was her club mates, Joyce Tan and Matshidiso Tamari with times of 01:07:26 and 01:14:03. The race, organised by GRC was in its 14th edition this year. It has also become a hub for fitness enthusiasts who came in large numbers this year. There were also some international athletes who usually use the race to prepare for some of the major regional events.
