Taking place on one day (Friday, 09 August / National Women’s Day) across three major cities (Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban) the Totalsports Women’s Race will boast a combined prize purse of R123 600 in 2019.
An annual Women’s Day celebration, the Totalsports Women’s Race encourages athletes to run united in support of PinkDrive because they are #StrongerTogether. For the first time since the event’s inception in 2001, South Africa’s largest Women’s Day Celebration will be hosted on one day across three major cities.
“We can’t wait to welcome runners and walkers to the Totalsports Women’s Race start line,” says Agne du Plessis, Stillwater Sports: General Manager Road Running. “For the first time since the event’s inception three cities will unite on one day, donning the colour pink in support of PinkDrive. Although a mass participation road run, the Totalsports Women’s Race also attracts SA’s leading ladies and up-and-coming stars. As motivation to continue pushing the boundaries, we are excited to offer a combined prize purse of R123 600 in 2019, that’s a total of R 41 200 per city.”
“Prize money will be allocated to the top 8 finishers in the Open Category with the winner taking home a whopping R10 000,” continues du Plessis. “We are proud to announce that the top 8 runners in the Junior Category will also be awarded for their efforts. The top 3 finishers in the age categories 40-49, 50-59, 60-69 and 70+ will also not go home empty-handed. There is never a shortage of excitement at the Totalsports Women’s Race. We invite runners and walkers to celebrate National Women’s Day amongst thousands of like-minded individuals. Be sure to visit the PinkDrive #Shop4Cancer to #PimpYourselfPink and help us spread the message that early detection can save lives.”
