Dates: 2, 9 & 16 August 2026
South Africa’s premier Women’s Month celebration, the Totalsports Women’s Race, returns this August with three unforgettable events across Durban, Cape Town, and Johannesburg on three consecutive Sundays. The festivities kick off in Durban on 2 August, continue in Cape Town on 9 August, and culminate in Johannesburg on 16 August 2026. Each year, over 30,000 women come together across three major cities to embrace the joy of movement on scenic 5km and 10km routes. Whether running or walking, elite athletes or first-time participants, the Totalsports Women’s Race is all about inclusivity, empowerment, and celebrating the strength, spirit, and achievements of women in a vibrant and supportive environment. Beyond the finish line, the Totalsports Women’s Race proudly continues to support PinkDrive, a non-profit company (NPC) dedicated to making a real difference in the fight against breast cancer by increasing awareness, providing education, and offering free services to medically uninsured individuals across South Africa.
