Following an exhilarating race in Durban this past Sunday (13 October), event organisers are thrilled to reveal yet another fast, flat course\u2014this time for the highly anticipated debut of the Boxer Super Run at TUKS (Uitspan) in Tshwane on Sunday, 10 November 2024.<\/p>\n
The Boxer Super Run is a world class 5km road run. With 5km being the most popular distance globally, the event attracts a diverse range of participants, from seasoned athletes seeking to challenge their limits to newcomers venturing into the world of road running.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Boxer Super Run route in Tshwane was carefully crafted to deliver both fast times and thrilling competition,\u201d says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports. \u201cWhile predominantly flat and built for speed, the Tshwane route includes a few strategic twists and turns to keep runners on their toes. Participants will also have the unique experience of passing the iconic Olympic-size swimming pool where Olympic Gold and Silver medalist Tatjana Smith (n\u00e9e Schoenmaker) trained for the recent Paris Olympics. With the R147 200.00 prize purse (for Open and Elite Wave runners only) and the potential for lightning-fast times, we expect the competition to be fierce. Setting new South African men’s and\/or women’s 5km records in Tshwane would be the ultimate highlight.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it’s not only our elite athletes who deserve the spotlight,\u201d adds Meyer. \u201cWe\u2019re also rooting for the ‘Open Wave’ runners to smash their personal bests. And for those in the ‘Super Social Wave,’ we challenge you to \u2018bring the Gees\u2019! Dress up, have fun, and enjoy South Africa\u2019s most social 5km run.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cStarting and finishing at TUKS (Uitspan), the Boxer Super Run Tshwane\u2019s flat, fast route is perfect for participants aged 9 and up, whether you\u2019re racing for a personal best or simply enjoying the experience,\u201d says Lee-Ann Pillay, Head of Marketing at Boxer Superstores. \u201cAs runners and walkers make their way through the iconic Sports Campus, they\u2019ll pass key landmarks, getting a unique look at one of South Africa\u2019s most prestigious sports facilities. Plus, our event partners and sponsors will have vibrant activations along the route to keep the energy high and spirits up. In addition to World Class Racing, we’re excited to see bold, vibrant outfits, plenty of colour, and loads of personality on display. It\u2019s set to be a day of excitement, fitness, and fun for all.\u201d<\/p>\n
The action of the Boxer Super Run Tshwane will culminate in thrilling style with the Elite Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s Waves on Sunday, 10 November 2024. Expect an exciting finish as South Africa\u2019s finest athletes battle it out for the coveted titles of King and Queen of the Boxer Super Run in Tshwane.<\/p>\n
