 <\/p>\n

With its fast, flat course, the highly anticipated Boxer Super Run<\/strong> promises an electrifying day of racing in Durban on Sunday, 13 October 2024<\/strong>. South Africa\u2019s top athletes will line up, ready to compete for the coveted titles of King and Queen of the Boxer Super Run, making this an event not to be missed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“The Boxer Super Run\u2019s lightning-fast route in Durban lived up to expectations in 2023,\u201d says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports<\/em><\/strong>. \u201cBoxer Athletics Club athletes Precious Mashele and Glenrose Xaba delivered remarkable performances at the inaugural event, becoming the fastest South Africans to complete a 5km run on home soil (at that time), with their astonishing times of 13:44 and 16:03, respectively. This year, we can\u2019t wait to see if those records can be broken. With the R147K prize purse serving as extra motivation, we hope to witness new South African 5km records being set once again.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“It\u2019s not just the Elite Race that promises excitement. Last year, participants in the \u2018Open Wave\u2019 were extremely competitive as well,\u201d continues Meyer. “We\u2019re excited to see ‘Open Wave’ runners chasing their personal bests on this course\u2014it\u2019s achievable. Remember, there\u2019s prize money for the Top 3 male and female finishers in the following Open Wave Categories: Junior, Open, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70+.”<\/p>\n

In closing, Meyer adds, “Super Social Wave runners and walkers, we\u2019re counting on you to bring the spirit and energy! Dress up, have fun, and enjoy South Africa\u2019s most social 5km run. We\u2019re looking for vibrant, colourful outfits that will bring excitement, style and flair to the streets of Durban.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe expect another thrilling day of racing, with the exciting course once again delivering fast times,\u201d says Lee-Ann Pillay, Head of Marketing at Boxer Superstores<\/em><\/strong>. \u201cThe fun will kick off from Snell Parade via Lagoon Drive and finish at Blue Lagoon Park. Apart from one minor hill, the route is fast and flat, offering a fantastic experience for runners aged 9 and up. Participants will enjoy passing some of Durban’s most iconic landmarks, while being treated to breathtaking views of Durban\u2019s Beach Front and Promenade. Our event partners and sponsors will add to the excitement with activations along the route. It\u2019s set to be an unforgettable day at South Africa\u2019s most social 5km run.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Coca-Cola Beverages South Africa <\/strong>(CCBSA), we believe in collaborating for impact.
