The 2026 Hollywoodbets 10km has officially launched, promising increased prize money, enhanced runner experience, and a major digital upgrade set

If 2025 proved anything, it is that our Purple Team isn’t just growing, we are thriving and showing South Africa what teamwork, commitment and passion look like on the road.

South Africa’s road running fraternity is set for a defining moment as ultra-distance champions Tete Dijana and Edward Mothibi line-up in Durban for their first official race in the colours of the Hollywood Athletics Club at the Best of the Best Marathon.

Hollywood Athletics Club has significantly boosted its elite contingent ahead of the upcoming Comrades Marathon season with the high-profile signings of Comrades Marathon champions Tete Dijana and Edward Mothibi, who will now compete in the club’s iconic purple and yellow colours.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we’ve had to move the Hollywoodbets Durban 10km race from Sunday, 31 August 2025 to Saturday, 30 August 2025.

It is with great sadness that the Hollywood Athletics Club confirms the passing of one of Elite athletes, Mathews Leeto, who tragically lost his life in a car accident yesterday.
