The tiny mountain kingdom of Lesotho took two podium places which winner Motlokoa Nkhabutlane put down to their strong focus on group training.

The day's biggest surprise was Caroline Wöstmann's win the women's race — the first by a South African since 2001. She improved 70 minutes on her 2014 time. Wöstmann inched her way to the front of the pack until she finally passed Podnebesnova, who had maintained a strong lead until that point, in the final 5km.

Stephen Mokoka successfully defended his Half Marathon title in a sprint finish. The Phalula twins dominated the women's race, with Lebogang winning and her sister Diana (defending her 2014 title) finishing third.

Title Sponsor Old Mutual had originally offered a million-grand prize to anyone breaking the 56km records, but the times set in 1988–89 remain in place for another year.
