Totalsports women’s race returns with a bang

South Africa’s largest Women’s Day celebration, the Totalsports Women’s Race, is back in 2022 and ready to take over the streets of Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban on August 9.

“We are thrilled to open entries for the iconic Totalsports Women’s Race,” said Michael Meyer, managing director of Stillwater Sports.

“It’s been two years since the last race was hosted (due to the Covid-19 pandemic), making the opening of entries that much sweeter.

“We have a lot to celebrate and can’t wait to get the festivities started with thousands of women across three cities toeing the line on National Women’s Day. Get ready for triple the fun in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban as women from all walks of life unite to take on a 5km/10km road run or walk in support of PinkDrive.

“We are proud to host South Africa’s largest Women’s Day celebration across three cities,” said Nikki Crous, head of marketing, Totalsports.

“Since its inception, the event has celebrated strong women and we are excited to continue doing so in 2022, especially after the pandemic. This year we would like to invite all women (grandmothers, mothers, aunts, daughters and sisters) to lace up their takkies and join us as we #RunTogether and #RunUnited in support PinkDrive.”

Entries open online on May 16 and close on July 26.
