The Balega booth was located front row center. Pretty much the same place they have in the specialty running industry. The poster was shot on top of Paarl Rock near Stellenbosch.

I’m very excited to post my 2008 race kit. As you can see, the design is the bright coloured South African flag. Which ties in nicely with the rainbow stripes of the current World Champion. A very unique look…
