Carle Pace

Carle Peter Albert Pace (2 March 1918 – 24 July 2008) was a South African cyclist, track sprinter and endurance athlete with a 75-year career.

He concentrated on field and track events in the later half of his life, becoming a champion within veteran and masters athletics.

In his tour of duty with the South African Air Force in the war, he became inland command featherweight champ, putting flight to both Ossewabrandwag and RAF challengers, he recalled in an article with a local newspaper in 2004.

In 1922, Carl's father was tried for treason for his role in the miner's Rand Rebellion, but subsequently released.

Carl married Lois Olive Limbrick and had two daughters and two sons, Carol, Barbara, Peter and Michael.
