After an eight-year hiatus, the City2City Marathon is back – better and bigger than ever.
The ever-internationally popular race between Tshwane and Johannesburg was last held in 2015 but returns in a partnership led by Gauteng Sports, Arts, Culture and Recreation, Athletics South Africa, Athletics Gauteng North and Central Gauteng Athletics.
The 50km ultra-marathon returns with a staggering overall purse of R1.2 million, with R200 000 going to each of the winners, with the runners-up taking R100 000 each and third-placed finishers pocketing R50 000 each.
The beloved road race will held on March 31 beginning at Centurion Rugby Club at 06:00 and finishing at the DP World Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg.
Entries are now available at www.webtickets.co.za, Pick n Pay and Boxer stores. Runners can also visit Athletics Gauteng North (www.agn.co.za) and Central Gauteng Athletics (www.centralgautengathletics.co.za) for further information.
The ultra will be supported by a 10km and 5km race which will start and finish at The Wanderers Sports Club at 07:00. Entries for all the races will close on March 22. Fees are R300 for the 50km, R150 for the 10km and R100 for the 5km.
Participants will receive a race t-shirt and a medal will be awarded to all finishers.
