Cape town Marathon
For four years, Rhonda has run the Cape Town Marathon as part of the Endurocad Girls empowerment program led by Elana Meyer — a former Olympian in long distance running. Capetown and all of South Africa is close to Rhonda’s heart.
Endurocad
Elana is the CEO of Endurocad/ACHIEVE, a non-profit aimed at helping South Africans through athletics, education, and women's & girls' empowerment.
Rhonda and Elana met in 2018 to do the Cape Town Marathon with Endurocad together and formed an incredible bond over sports and impacting & empowering women. Rhonda has since done the marathon three times with Endurocad. Each year, she speaks at a women's lunch and to students in addition to running the marathon.
Captains of Industry
In 2019, Rhonda was invited to the Captains of Industry Run4Change Breakfast organized by the Cape Times newspaper, where she spoke alongside the Cape Town Marathon race director and former Springbok captain Francois Pienaar, among others. She has done this race 4 times now. In 2023, Elana Meyer had Mary Keitany and Rhonda speak to the young girls in South Africa with her for the Endurocad / ACHIEVE non profit.
