Defending champion Glenrose Xaba will be back in action this Sunday, 13 October 2024, as she takes on the highly anticipated Boxer Super Run in Durban.<\/p>\n

In 2023 Glenrose Xaba and Precious Mashele showcased their remarkable speed at the inaugural Boxer Super Run in Durban, becoming the fastest South Africans (at that time) to complete a 5km run on home soil with their astonishing finishing times of 16:03 and 13:44, respectively.<\/p>\n

According to Xaba, the Boxer Super Run is an excellent initiative. \u201cThe event opens up opportunities for 800m and 1500m athletes to compete alongside road runners,\u201d explains Xaba. \u201cThe 5km is all about maintaining speed while building power. The atmosphere at the Boxer Super Run is fantastic, and the route is fast and flat. The impressive prize purse will undoubtedly motivate athletes to focus on shorter distances until they are ready to transition to longer races.\u201d<\/p>\n

In closing, Xaba expresses her excitement: \u201cI am really looking forward to participating again on Sunday. It\u2019s been a busy season, but this event holds a special place for me because it\u2019s sponsored by Boxer. You can\u2019t be part of the Boxer Athletics Club and not want to compete on Sunday. It\u2019s our event, and we are all extremely proud to represent Boxer and the Boxer Athletics Club on the day.\u201d<\/p>\n
