An enthusiastic runner, Zukiswa Gaxela<\/strong> (Luzuko, Phillipi) will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Absa RUN YOUR CITY SERIES by participating in her 10th Absa RUN YOUR CITY SERIES race in the Mother City, the Absa RUN YOUR CITY CAPE TOWN 10K<\/strong>, taking place on Mother\u2019s Day<\/strong>, Sunday, 11 May 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Running for RCS Gugulethu Athletics Club, Gaxela has been passionate about running since childhood. \u201cI train four to five times a week, with my favorite distance being the 21km,\u201d says Gaxela<\/em><\/strong>. \u201cIt\u2019s the vibe, social interaction, and route that keep me coming back to this race each year. Knowing that I am among a handful of runners who have completed all nine races to date is overwhelming. It just shows how quickly time flies! I didn\u2019t realise it\u2019s been nine times\u2014I love this race that much.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cAs a club runner, we race all the time, always chasing PBs, but this event is different\u2014you get so many social runners who are here just to have fun. I love that because there\u2019s no pressure,\u201d she admits. \u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to enjoying the Absa Cheer Zone along the route. They always encourage us to keep going! And, of course, the PUMA 100m Sprint to push my time.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThis event keeps improving each year. From race number collection\u2014there\u2019s hardly any waiting\u2014to well-stocked water points and a safe route, it\u2019s always an awesome experience. I was extra happy after last year\u2019s race because, for the first time, I saw myself on TV, dancing with one of the mascots on the route!\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In closing Gaxela adds: \u201cI definitely recommend this event to other runners. Every year, I recruit more people to join. I truly believe this race is the perfect start for anyone looking to embrace a healthy lifestyle.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Having dedicated runners like Zukiswa return to support the Absa RUN YOUR CITY CAPE TOWN 10K year after year means the world to our team,\u201d says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports and Series Founder<\/em><\/strong>. \u201cIt\u2019s a testament to the fact that we\u2019re doing something right, and we\u2019re incredibly grateful for her continued support. Her loyalty, along with the many others who return, makes our event even more special. We\u2019re excited to celebrate the 10th anniversary in the beautiful Mother City and can\u2019t wait to see everyone out there on race day.\u201d<\/p>\n
