South Africa’s largest Women’s Day celebration, the Totalsports Women’s Race, will triple the excitement in 2024 with the iconic event being celebrated in three major cities on three separate dates in the month of August. The festivities will begin in Durban on Sunday, August 4th, followed by Cape Town on Friday, August 9th, before culminating in Joburg on Saturday, August 17th.
“We’re thrilled to triple the excitement of the Totalsports Women’s Race in 2024 by hosting these three iconic events across three cities on three separate days,” says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports. “Each city will have its day to shine as we deliver an exceptional road running experience. We’re excited to share the race’s spirit with diverse communities and empower women from all walks of life.”
“We are committed to elevating the standard of racing at the Totalsports Women’s Race,” continues Meyer. “By hosting the event on three separate dates we are able to enhance the quality of racing in each city. SA’s elite female athletes will not only have three opportunities to compete in a world-class women’s-only race on home soil but also to race against an exceptionally strong elite women’s field at each event.”
In conclusion, Meyer emphasizes, “We are proud to enhance the level of competition at the Totalsports Women’s Race. Runners, elite and recreational, as well as spectators, can expect an exhilarating and top-quality race day experience in each city. Join us as we actively celebrate Women’s Day throughout the month of August.”
“We look forward to commemorating Women’s Month by hosting three standalone Totalsports Women’s Race’s in 2024,” says Nikki Crous, Head of Marketing Totalsports. “The Totalsports Women’s Race is not just a race; it’s a celebration of strength, determination, and the power of women coming together to achieve incredible feats. We can’t wait to enhance the overall experience in all three cities. By spreading the event across multiple dates, we aim to enhance the celebration, provide more opportunities for women to participate, while creating a more inclusive and empowering environment for all. We invite women across all three cities to #LoveTheRun with us at the Totalsports Women’s Race in 2024.”
