Johannesburg’s running scene is about to get a turbo boost. On Sunday, 9 November 2025, the Boxer Super Run Joburg makes its debut at Marks Park Sports Club, promising a 5km festival of fitness where every stride counts; whether you’re chasing podiums or just chasing good vibes.
Like a perfectly paced relay, the event rolls out four start waves designed to match every kind of runner’s rhythm: Open Wave, Super Social Wave, Elite Women, and Elite Men.
“We’re excited to bring the Boxer Super Run to Jozi this November,” says Lee-Ann Pillay, Head of Marketing at Boxer Superstores.
“Our goal is simple and that is to welcome every kind of runner to the event.
“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.”

It’s one distance, one route, and one massive celebration of movement. The real magic lies in choosing the wave that fits your stride.
The Open Wave, blasting off at 07:00, is for those who like to hit the road early and hard; the club runners, school teams, and PB hunters who thrive on that pre-dawn adrenaline rush.
“It’s ideal for competitive runners outside the elite field,” Pillay explains.
“If you want to test yourself and maybe chase a personal best, this is your wave.”
Then comes the Super Social Wave, running from 08:00 to 09:30, where the stopwatch takes a back seat and the focus shifts to fun, flair, and friendship.
“Here, it’s less about times and more about enjoying the morning with family, friends, and colleagues,” says Pillay.
“We encourage runners to get creative, dress up, and bring the energy. It’s a chance to make memories, not just mileage.”
And when the crowds have warmed the course, the stage belongs to the Elite Women (09:45) and Elite Men (10:00). South Africa’s speediest road warriors will toe the line, battling stride for stride for the titles of King and Queen of the Boxer Super Run — a sprint showdown that’s sure to ignite Jozi’s streets.
“We can’t wait to see Jozi’s running community rally behind the elites on this brand-new course,” Pillay adds.
“We encourage all Open and Super Social Wave participants to stay, cheer, and witness South Africa’s best in action. You may even see history being made.”
With every entrant receiving a performance T-shirt, goodie bag, finisher’s medal, and a race-day experience bursting with energy, the Boxer Super Run is shaping up to be a celebration of community, courage, and camaraderie.
