Scott LCB Factory Racing’s Arno du Toit is the current leader of the TrailSeeker Gauteng men’s marathon, which will wrap up with the Diamond Rush edition in Cullinan on Saturday.
He will be wary of the Team NAD duo of Nico Bell and Gawie Combrinck as a win could give them the overall lead.

Bell may only need to finish second to ensure he retains the series crown he claimed last year.
Others gunning for a top finish include Joe Bester and Alan Gordon.
Women’s series leader Theresa Ralph (Galileo Risk) will miss the event, but she appears to have scored enough points in her four rounds to secure the title.
There should still be a fierce podium battle, with Maricel Bekker likely to be the favourite.
There are a total of four distances: 69km marathon, 37km half-marathon, 20km fun race and 10km fun ride.
