Registration open for annual Soweto Marathon
Registration for the 2025 Soweto Marathon—the most significant mass sports event in the Township—has officially opened, 2 months ahead of this year’s event.
The annual marathon will take place on Sunday, 30 November, 2025, with the township once again welcoming thousands of running enthusiasts for whom running is both a lifestyle and a celebration, as well as world-class elite athletes competing for top results and prize money.
The Soweto Marathon Non-Profit Company (NPC) is carrying the race on behalf of the Soweto Athletics Clubs and has confirmed that all is on track with the race organising team, race office, partners and sponsors remaining committed as per the hugely successful 2024 Soweto Marathon – the country’s biggest one day road race.
Returning to Nasrec, Soweto, and hosted by The City of Johannesburg; the African Bank Soweto Marathon route remains unchanged, treasuring the eight significant heritage sites on the marathon route; including the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital; Walter Sisulu Square; the Regina Mundi Catholic Church; Credo Mutwa Cultural Village; Morris Isaacson High School and June 16 Memorial Acre; Vilakazi Street and the Hector Pieterson Memorial.
Soweto Marathon Spokesperson Jabu Mbuli says that the Athletics Clubs of Soweto own this race and that the job of the NPC is to execute another remarkably run iconic event that is unrivalled in passion, spirit, unity and celebration; just like they did in both 2023 and 2024.
“We are grateful to once again have the trust of the athletics clubs of Soweto. The support given to us from all our other partners, clubs, governing bodies and runners has been nothing short of extraordinary. We know the standard our community expects and promise you nothing short of exceptional from start gun to finish line.”
Mbuli added that Mr Ishe / David Sathikge was expelled by Athletics South Africa on 01 July 2023 and he is not allowed to address any meeting relating to the Soweto Marathon in any capacity. “Both Mr. Benjamin Khunou and David Sathikge are also precluded from holding any administrative position in the sports of athletics, as expressed by general counsel of ASA, who have unanimously resolved to expel them from the sport. Finally, Stan Itshegetseng has also been placed on indefinite suspension by the CGA Board, pending a disciplinary hearing, so he too is not allowed to address any correctly constituted meeting relating to the Soweto Marathon in any capacity,” concluded Mbuli.
Entry fees for all three categories are now open – and runners will undoubtedly welcome the news of the retained 2023 prices namely R380 for the marathon; R300 for the 21.1km and R280 for the 10km. To enter, runners are encouraged to visit www.sowetomarathon.com. The prize money remains equal for both the male and female categories, with the top prize awarded to the 42.2km Open winner set to take home R250 000.
The Soweto Athletics Clubs look forward to hosting every single participant.
