On Saturday the 10th of May 2014, runners, cyclists and walkers will all gather to see street culture sparkling with life and light as they race along the township streets. Entries for this spectacular, proudly South African event are closing on the 25th of April – So if you haven’t entered yet, it’s time to get moving!
Energizer is gearing up to make the race an authentic township adventure like nothing Jozi has ever seen before.

There will be entertainment from 3:00pm until 10:30pm, including the Extraordinary Gentlemen and DJ Milkshake, making the event the place to be for spectators and racers alike.
