The African Bank Soweto Marathon is no ordinary race. Dubbed “The People’s Race,” the Soweto Marathon has a special place in the hearts of many South African runners. The only race of its magnitude set in a township where some of South Africa’s greats have walked, the Soweto Marathon honours this heritage of Soweto by taking runners past the iconic landmarks of Soweto namely the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, Walter Sisulu Square, the Regina Mundi Catholic Church, Credo Mutwa Cultural Village, Morris Isaacson High School & June 16 Memorial Acre, Vilakazi Street and the Hector Pieterson Memorial.
At this race people from all walks of life come together for the same cause – RUN.
In 2025 the race will again start & finish at the Johannesburg Expo Centre, Nasrec on the 29 November 2025 and will again offer entrants the option of the 42.2km, 21.1km or 10km race.
African Bank customers are also offered 50% back on their entry fee when they make payment using their African Banks cards.
Prices range from R230.00 up to R700.00 (excl. service fees) depending on the choice of entry. All prices and fees in this event are in South African rands (ZAR) and include VAT where applicable.
