Mo and Asgar running their way into the record books for a good cause

Loading player...
Last year, Asgar Dalvie and Mo Sanglay trained to run 42.2km's in the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon in Bokkie, a two metre foam replica of an SPCA vehicle. Then Cape Town's wind arrived with other plans. The 2025 marathon was cancelled before the race even began, leaving the pair with unfinished kilometres and funds still left to raise for the SPCA Inspectorate fuel fund.
Now, they are back to finish the marathon they never got to start.
On Saturday, 24 May 2026, Dalvie and Sanglay will once again line up inside Bokkie, this time attempting a Guinness World Records title for the fastest marathon completed in a two-man car costume while raising the remaining R19,000 needed to fully fund one SPCA Inspectorate vehicle's annual fuel costs.
