Maponya Mall will be hosting an activation for the Old Mutual Soweto Marathon tomorrow.
As the closing date will be on September 5, residents of Soweto will be encouraged to get in those last minute entries in because the race office will be present and to discuss any concerns or questions they may have with the race.
A major change in 2016 will see the race’s start and finish being hosted at FNB Stadium.
The organisers of the marathon invite athletes to “Be Part of The People’s Race: A Movement Greater Than Yourself”.
It encourages South Africans to learn more about Soweto and exposes international runners to one of the most vibrant parts of the country.
The route honours Soweto’s rich history and runners will pass six significant heritage sites on the marathon route.
The race office will be at Maponya Mall from 9am – 3pm.
The Old Mutual Soweto Marathon mascot will be present, and residents may take pictures with the mascot which will be printed on site and given to you.
The standard marathon (42.2km) will start at 6am, the half marathon (21.1km) at 6.30am and the 10km run at 7am.
