Save the date! The 29th edition of the Africanbank Soweto Marathon is set to be a record-breaking affair as runners from far and wide gather to Run the People’s Race with the Bank that Backs You.

This iconic event will be held on Sunday, 3 November 2024, in Nasrec, Soweto.

It’s an honour to partner with the Soweto Marathon again – a race that reflects the spirit and tenacity of our people. This highly-anticipated event brings together people from different cultures and backgrounds, making it a celebration both of our country’s diversity, and our strength in unity.

This year, we’re also welcoming a new apparel partner in JOMA. This highly-regarded brand will manufacture and supply the ever popular, brightly-coloured, breathable race shirts.

Experience Soweto

The Africanbank Soweto Marathon is more than just a race; it honours Soweto's rich history, culture, and spirited character. The marathon route has been carefully plotted to take in the 8 significant heritage sites, including Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, Vilakazi Street, Walter Sisulu Square, and the June 16 Memorial Acre, amongst others.

Be part of the people’s race

At Africanbank, we believe anything is possible when you have the audacity to believe in your dreams. The spirit of this iconic race mirrors an audacious heritage that took root in the heart of Soweto. Our vision of a bank for the people, by the people, serving the people, was born here. Collaborating with Soweto Marathon is part of our shared commitment to empowerment and progress. We feel privileged to stand alongside the runners, supporting them throughout the race. Together, we will continue to shape lives and champion the extraordinary potential in all of us.
