Missing Comrades runner found, airlifted to hospital
Missing Comrades Marathon runner Moira Harding has been found.
Authorities located the 54-year-old Comrades Marathon runner near the NSRI base on Durban's Mahatma Gandhi Road, also known as Point Road, on Monday morning.
The Cape Town resident was last seen by her family when she crossed the finish line at Moses Mabhida People's Park on Sunday at around 5 pm.
Harding's sudden disappearance sparked a massive search on the ground, and her family launched a desperate campaign online for public assistance.
ALS Paramedics spokesperson Garrith Jamieson said the road has been closed so a helicopter can airlift Harding to a nearby hospital.
"Search and rescue teams have managed to locate the runner, who's in a critical state of health," said Jamieson.
"Advanced Life Support Paramedics are currently stabilising the patient on scene, before the patient will be transported to a nearby hospital for the urgent care that she requires."
