From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

George Mofokeng (born February 19, 1979) is a long-distance runner from South Africa, who twice won the national marathon title in his native country: in 2006 and 2007.

Mofokeng became the first man since Frank Pooe in 1999 to retain his South African marathon title when he won the race in 2007 on a new, faster course through the suburbs of Port Elizabeth. His 2:13:50 was 51 seconds quicker than his previous personal best, which he set on an aided course in 2002. In 2006 he won in 2:15:06.
