Stillwater Sports, in partnership with Boxer Superstores and Coca-Cola, is excited to launch the Boxer Super Run, a world class 5km road run that is set to captivate entrants, young and old, social, and elite, in the scenic city of Durban on Sunday 15 October 2023.

“We’re excited to launch the Boxer Super Run, a fast-paced 5km road race that is designed to accommodate participants of all fitness levels,” says Michael Meyer, Stillwater Sports Managing Director. “With the 5km distance being a global favourite, this event attracts a diverse range of runners, from seasoned athletes seeking to push their boundaries to newcomers exploring the world of road running. By infusing excitement into the sport, the Boxer Super Run aims to contribute to the growing popularity of shorter road races.”

“Runners will join like-minded individuals by selecting one of two waves that align with their preferences,” continues Meyer. “A highlight on race day will be the Boxer Super Run Elite Race where SA’s Elite athletes will go head-to-head in a men’s and women’s race. With the elites vying for the coveted title of King and Queen of the inaugural Boxer Super Run 5K, these two races are going to be fast! Whether you're an elite runner, a casual enthusiast, or new to the sport, you want to be part of this unique experience that is set to redefine the running scene in Durban.”

“Boxer is ‘super’ excited about the launch of the Boxer Super Run,” says Lee-Ann Pillay, Boxer Superstores Head of Department: Marketing. “We are proud to host the most social run in South Africa, right here in KwaZulu-Natal, the place where it all began for Boxer, 46 years ago. We are thrilled at the prospect of seeing many runners, both professional and social, taking on the 5km race and I encourage you to purchase your entry tickets now as they are going to sell out fast! We cannot wait to see you at the Boxer Super Run!”

“Boxer and Coca-Cola have unleashed a winning partnership,” says Hlengiwe Khanyile, Coca-Cola Beverages South Africa Act. Regional Sales Execution Manager. “We’re excited to sprint towards a shared goal of conquering a 5km run, while energizing communities with every step!”
