Entries for this year’s edition of the Selati 2-in-1 Marathon have closed. The competitors will take on either the 10km or 21.1km race, and there will also be a fun race.
This popular marathon will hit Nkomazi this Saturday May 13, starting and finishing at the Malelane Golf Club.
The younger or lesser fit athletes have a choice between the 2km or the 4.9km fun run, presented by and for the benefit of Malelane Primary School.
On Monday May 8, Deon Valks of the Onderberg Marathon Club said only the fun run entries will be opened until Friday, May 12. “We extended the closing date from the initial date due to the demand. The fun race entries will also depend on availability.”

“The sponsors wish to make the 2023 Selati 2-in-1 Marathon an unforgettable experience. The prize money, which totals more than R15 000, is a clear indication of this. Each pre-entrant will also receive a Selati 2-in-1 T-shirt, a Selati string bag filled with RCL Foods products as well as the traditional bag of grapefruit. The participants can again look forward to a unique race medal, of which the first 10 are gold and the next 30 are silver for each of the distances. Single toll gate fees at the Nkomazi Toll Plaza will be reimbursed to all registered runners when they exchange their valid tollgate receipt on the race day or the day before,” said Valks.
