Local stars are set to light up the track at the Jwaneng Track and Field Challenge that will be hosted at the Lobatse Sport Complex tomorrow.

Baboloki Thebe, Anthony Pesela and Bernard Olesitse will make their comeback to the track after being missing in action last season. Thebe has been out of action following a car accident in 2020 while Pesela was part of the men’s 4x400m relay team that won a silver medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

Thebe and Pesela will clash in the men’s 150m main event heat. As for Olesitse, the athlete has been struggling with injuries that forced him to the sidelines the entire season. The event is a unique over-distance track and field competition designed to test an athlete’s speed and endurance.
