Philly's hard-earned exceptional talent as a runner was recognized by several of the top finishers, who sought him out with compliments and encouraging support such as, "Keep it up....you've got what it takes!"
One of those world class runners and race organizers who offered kudos to Philly also made an effort to compliment the entire team and give them some post-race training tips.

All eleven team members left the event proudly sporting
World Aid’s Day medals. What a positive way to win the race against stigma and
discrimination!
In addition to participating in this very exciting running
event, the group had a blast swimming at the Khayalethu guest house in Pretoria
where they stayed, and touring the University of Pretoria campus.
Philly’s words at the end of his race, pretty much sums up the experience, “This is my dream come true.”
