RUNNER AWARDS GAUTENG PROVINCE NOMINEE SPOTLIGHT 📣 FROM 8KM TO A LEGEND IN THE MAKING. MEET THE ALEX 10KM. In 2023, an ambitious idea was born: to host a road race in one of South Africa’s oldest townships, Alexandra. The Find Your Fit 8km Run kicked off at Alexandra Plaza—a small step toward something much bigger. By 2024, it had grown into the Adreach Alex 10km, starting at the same plaza. In 2025, the race officially moved to its new home at the Altrec Sports Complex. Today, it stands as one of Gauteng’s most inspiring running stories. 📊 THE JOURNEY 2023 Find Your Fit 8km – the dream begins 2024 Adreach Alex 10km – first official edition 2025 New venue: Altrec Sports Complex 2026 3,000+ participants – a thriving community event ⛰️ THE COURSE This route is officially one of the shortest challenging routes around Joburg, with an estimated elevation of 1600m due to the geographic positioning of Alexandra and the Jukskei River. Runners affectionately call it “Mini Comrades Marathon Up Run” —a testament to its brutal hills and the grit required to conquer them. Course Records: - Men: Elvis Tau – 31:53 (2026) - Ladies: Nobukhosi Tshuma – 38:44 (2024) 💚 MORE THAN A RACE The Alex 10km is hosted every 21 March (Human Rights Day) to: - Raise funds for the club’s development programs - Encourage healthy lifestyles within the community - Give participants an opportunity to “Explore Alex on Foot” The route passes many places of worship that held the township together during difficult times, entertainment hubs that have drawn first-time visitors to Alex, and sports facilities that have nurtured talents who made their mark on the world. Long-term vision: Fund comprehensive educational holiday programs and build an Alex Community Gym. 🏆 MOST IMPROVED RACE From 8km to 10km. From Plaza to Sports Complex. From a local idea to 3,000+ participants. The Alex 10km is the definition of growth. How to continue nominating the Alex 10km: 📱 SMS: Type “improved, Alex 10km” to 33640 (SMS costs R1.50. Free SMSes do not apply.) 💻 ONLINE: Visit runnerawards.com/nominate-gp Learn More about us: runalex.co.za #RunnerAwardsGP #RunnerAwards2026 #Alex10k #MostImprovedRace #RunAlexAC #WatermelonGang🍉

Alex 10k Nominated for the Most Improved Race in Gauteng Starting off as an 8km Find Your Fit Fun Run in 2023 and graduating to an official 10km race in 2024, with 1400 participants. In 2025 the participation numbers would have doubled, if we had not capped the participation numbers at 2500. In 2026 the registration numbers were again capped at 3100, leaving a lot of people desperate for an entry, but the capping was necessary to properly manage the event's growth. The organizing of the Alex 10K has received overwhelming praise. Given the space challenges that the community of Alexandra faces, to pull off an event that has so many people without a single incident can only happen because the community is pulling together. The running community has recognized all these efforts, growth and meticulous planning, it is for this reason that the Alex 10K has been nominated as the *"Most Improved Race"* for the Gauteng RunnerAwards GP . We encourage members of the Alex community, running communnity that agree with this nomination to please cast their vote by sms to 33640 and sms these words *"Most Improved, Alex 10K"* Alexandra Plaza | @adreachsa | @busamed | @AlexFMRadio891 For more information contact: Mandisa Semane Secretary General Run Alex Athletics Club 078 258 6054
