The organisers of South Africa\u2019s most social 5km run, the Boxer Super Run<\/strong>, are thrilled to announce an impressive R147 200.00<\/strong> prize purse<\/strong> in 2024<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“The Boxer Super Run has redefined the standard for 5km events, and we\u2019re proud to raise the bar even higher this year with an unprecedented R147 200.00<\/strong> prize purse,\u201d says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports<\/em><\/strong>. \u201cThis prize purse applies to both the Elite Race and the Open Wave. In the Elite Race, prize money will be awarded to the Top 8 male and female finishers, with the winners each taking home a well-deserved R20K. Additionally, in the Open Wave, the Top 3 male and female finishers in categories including Junior, Open, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70+ will also be rewarded for their efforts.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 5km distance is a true crowd-pleaser. It\u2019s not just fast; it also demands endurance and strategy,\u201d Meyer continues. \u201cThis makes it an exciting challenge for elite athletes. With the added incentive of a significant prize purse, we can\u2019t wait to showcase just how talented and competitive South African runners really are. The Elite Race is a must-see spectator highlight. In 2023, Boxer Athletics Club\u2019s top runners, Precious Mashele and Glenrose Xaba, set remarkable records as the fastest South Africans (at that time) to complete a 5km run on home soil, with times of 13:44 and 16:03, respectively. Will they or any of their peers match or surpass these feats this year? Join us to find out.”<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to offer an impressive R147 200.00 prize purse in 2024 as a reward for South Africa\u2019s elite athletes,\u201d says Lee-Ann Pillay, Boxer Superstores Head of Department: Marketing<\/em><\/strong>. \u201cBeing an elite athlete isn\u2019t easy\u2014if it were, more people would do it. It requires hard work, dedication, early mornings, and the resilience to overcome numerous setbacks. Our elite athletes truly deserve recognition and support, and we\u2019re excited to provide a platform that both celebrates and rewards their commitment and exceptional talent.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Elite Women\u2019s and Elite Men\u2019s Waves will bring an exciting conclusion to a day full of 5km fun at the Boxer Super Run in Durban on Sunday, 13 October 2024. This spectator highlight promises an electrifying showdown as South Africa’s top athletes compete for the prestigious titles of King and Queen of the Boxer Super Run.<\/p>\n
