Johannesburg, it’s time to hit the pavement! The Boxer Super Run lands at Marks Park Sports Club on Sunday, 9 November 2025, turning the city streets into a 5K playground for every kind of runner, from speed demons to tutu-clad fun-seekers.
Four waves, one epic morning: Open Wave, Super Social Wave, Elite Women, and Elite Men. Pick your vibe, lace up your sneakers, and let the good times roll.
“Our goal is simple and that is to welcome every kind of runner to the event,” says Lee-Ann Pillay, Head of Marketing at Boxer Superstores.
“The beauty of the 5km distance lies in its inclusivity: it’s accessible for first-timers, fun for social joggers, and still delivers an exhilarating test for seasoned athletes chasing fast times.”
Early birds, get ready, the Open Wave bursts off at 07:00. Perfect for competitive runners, school teams, and anyone hungry to chase a PB.
From 08:00 to 09:30, it’s the Super Social Wave’s time to shine. Think funky costumes, squads of friends, laughter echoing down the streets. This wave is all about fun, flair, and epic selfies.
“We encourage runners to get creative, dress up, and bring the energy. It’s a chance to make memories, not just mileage,” Pillay adds.
And then the heavy hitters arrive: Elite Women (09:45) and Elite Men (10:00). South Africa’s fastest will duel for the crown of King and Queen of the Boxer Super Run. This is a showdown that’ll have you cheering till your voice gives out.
Every runner gets a performance T-shirt, goodie bag, timing chip, and a finisher’s medal. Plus, the unbeatable buzz of running through a city that’s buzzing with energy.
