An ideal opportunity to run on local turf is the upcoming Gauteng Marathon.
The marathon is an annual road running event featuring a 42km race through the Mogale City and Johannesburg landscapes, a 21km run catering for half-marathon enthusiasts and a 10km for those who are challenged by a shorter distance. Now in its third year, the Gauteng Marathon prides itself on the objective of encouraging active lifestyles and healthier mental and physical states of being.
The event takes place on 7 September and is a day filled with fun activities as well as performances by some of the country’s most celebrated musicians.
Sporting a R250 000 prize for both the male and female winners – one of the largest purses in the country – the marathon is for professional and leisure runners.
