After the initial collaboration with SA Rugby and Caster Semenya, Omo celebrates the unbeatable spirit of the Comrades, with support from Caster and marathon legend Gerda Steyn, inspiring runners to #stayunbeatable and push through the world’s toughest ultramaratho
In a bold stride into the world of sport, OMO has officially partnered with the 2025 Comrades Marathon under its inspiring #StayUnbeatable platform – a movement that celebrates the resilience of everyday South Africans who push forward, no matter the odds.
On race day, South African running legends, Caster Semenya and Gerda Steyn will be on hand as ambassadors of resilience at the #StayUnbeatable booth in Durban, a premium recovery and celebration space that honours the Comrades journey.
Runners in the world’s most iconic ultramarathon, will also be supported through a series of immersive experiences, including the OMO Unbeatable Arch at Essex Terrace near Lakeside, marking one of the most gruelling points on the course and offering a powerful moment of motivation.
Olympic champion, Caster Semenya, will headline OMO’s race-day presence, offering encouragement and inspiration from the sidelines at both Essex Terrace and at the finish line in Durban, where she will be joined by Gerda Steyn after she finishes her race – who is fresh off her win at the 2024 Comrades and now racing for what could be her fourth Comrades Marathon title.

“Being at Comrades this year is a powerful reminder that greatness isn’t just about winning – it’s about showing up and staying the course,” says Semenya. “Resilience means pushing through, even when it hurts, keep playing on.” says Caster.
