The organisers of the Absa RUN YOUR CITY SERIES are thrilled to announce that the 2025 Absa RUN YOUR CITY TSHWANE 10K has officially sold out – nearly a month ahead of race day – marking yet another significant milestone for this world-class series!
An impressive 10 000 enthusiastic runners have secured their entries, all eager to be part of the electrifying atmosphere when the event returns to ‘The Jacaranda City’ on Sunday, 24 August 2025. As the fourth event in the iconic five-part series, the Absa RUN YOUR CITY TSHWANE 10K will also celebrate its 3rd anniversary in 2025, promising an electrifying atmosphere and a vibrant showcase of Tshwane’s running spirit.
“Reaching capacity well before race day is a phenomenal achievement and a clear testament to the growing stature of the Absa RUN YOUR CITY TSHWANE 10K within South Africa’s road running scene,” says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports and Series Founder. “It’s incredible to witness such overwhelming support for an event that is only in its third year. This success is the result of a collective effort – from our dedicated sponsors and partners to the passionate running community that continuously supports and believes in the series.”
The Absa RUN YOUR CITY TSHWANE 10K brings together an exciting blend of elite athletes, social runners, and fitness enthusiasts from across South Africa and beyond. It offers runners a unique opportunity to explore Tshwane’s iconic landmarks, while celebrating a shared love of running and community. Since its debut in 2023, the event has seen remarkable growth, cementing its place as a highlight on South Africa’s annual running calendar.
Meyer concludes, “We’re excited to bring road running to life in Tshwane once again. I encourage all participants to wear their red event T-shirts with pride on race day. There’s nothing quite like seeing a wave of red sweep through the streets as thousands of runners come together to #RunYourCity – it’s a moment that captures the true spirit of the event.”
