The family of the Cape Townresident spent the night searching for her, after she disappeared moments after she had crossed the finish line at Durban's Moses Mabhida Peoples Park on Sunday.

They noted that she did not appear well and immediately launched a massive search for her with the assistance of the Comrades Marathon Association.

Medics who worked to stabilise Harding said she was found in a critical condition on Durban's Mahatma Gandhi Road on Monday morning.

"She was found in the Point area of Durban. The woman is currently in hospital and although she was found with no visible injuries, police will await medical report which will determine police's next course of action."
