The closing date for registration to participate in the 2016 Old Mutual Soweto Marathon has been extended to October 4.
The decision for the extension was taken after organisers received a large number of requests from athletes and the general public on the last day registration which was September 5.
Chairperson of the Soweto Marathon Trust Sello Khunou said they decided to extend the deadline date following a large number of requests and last-minute enquiries from prospective participants.
“We urge anyone wanting to take part in any of the categories to register online before the revised closing date as no extensions will be granted after that,” said Khunou.
Nicknamed the people’s race, the Soweto Marathon is in its 23rd edition this year.
It celebrates the history, the people of this country and historical sites situated in Soweto.
