The \u2018Sanet Wentzel Spirit\u2019 Award was founded in memory of this fallen athlete. Often the source of many heartfelt tears, the trophy honours the AFRICANX\u2019s most inspirational athletes, athletes who persevere irrespective of the adversity that they face.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe call on all AFRICANX entrants to help us identify this year\u2019s recipient,\u201d continues Meyer. \u201cIf there is one thing that the trail running community is good at, it\u2019s being there for each other.
