After 22 years, Dis-Chem is proud to announce that its leading sports and wellness brand, Biogen, will take over the event naming rights as title sponsor of its iconic Half Marathon and 5km Dash races, with presenting sponsor Momentum Multiply joining for a second year.
The 23rd edition is proudly hosted by Bedfordview Country Club Athletics. The Half Marathon will have a seeded start and will be timed as normal. The race starts on Riley Road in Bedfordview at 06:00 am on Sunday. The 5km Dash starts 30 minutes later at 06:30 am on the same day and will also be a timed event. Runners can look forward to the same high-quality event, with exceptional value and the same challenging route that winds through the hills of Bedfordview, Morninghill and Primrose. The route offers spectacular views and serves as the perfect fitness tester to kickstart the 2025 running calendar in Gauteng.
The event will again raise funds for the two legacy race charities, namely the Lambano Sanctuary and the Namaqua Dog and Donkey Foundation, which undertakes the sterilisation, vaccination and treatment of animals in informal settlements on the East Rand. The Dis-Chem Foundation will match all donations by runners, over and above their entry fee.
