Sold out year on year, the Soweto Marathon, known as the People’s Race, will officially open entries for the 2022 edition on May 27.
Taking place on November 6 the race route will continue to honour Soweto’s rich history as it takes runners through the tour of the city.
Soweto Marathon Trust chairman, Sello Khunou, said, ”We are delighted to announce that all is on track to host the Soweto Marathon post our two-year hiatus. The 27th edition will bring with it tremendous gratefulness for life as we honour those we lost to Covid-19 and all the struggles experienced that were associated with the pandemic.
“We also encourage all would-be participants who have not been vaccinated to do so ahead of the race in November – for the preservation of all our lives.”
The race will consist of three different distances, the 42.2km standard marathon, the 21.1km half marathon and a 10km run, all of which start and end at the iconic FNB Stadium in Johannesburg.
