Pretoria’s iconic Jacaranda City Challenge returns for its 26th year, drawing over 7,000 runners of all levels to the capital’s streets.
The event features multiple distances — 42 km, 21 km, 10 km, and 5 km — promoting community spirit and inclusivity.
Acting as both a qualifier for the Two Oceans and Comrades Marathons and the Northern Athletics Championships, it blends competition with celebration.
Beyond racing, the Challenge showcases Pretoria’s culture, unity, and renewed enthusiasm for road running in a vibrant post-pandemic revival.
