Her mom’s genuine support moved many South Africans who views the viral video almost half a million times. The young woman woke up at around 05:00 am to get ready for her big day and did a lot of breathing exercises in the 45-minute Uber to the venue.

The run started at 06:30 and Motlatso’s plan was to keep a steady pace and control her breathing. The participants received refreshments every now and then.

The lady confessed that she felt like giving up after running 8km but the thought of her mom waiting for her at the finish line kept her going. Motlasto captioned her clip:

“POV: You ran your first 10km race and your mom was waiting for you at the finish line. My always in all ways.”
