About this event
The Vitality Run Series is heating up, and you're invited to be part of the action. Whether you're chasing PB's or just showing up for the good vibes - this one's for you. The 5km race will again be run in honour of Matthew Ernstzen and supported by The Compassionate Friends, a community of people offering support and connection.
We are also asking all runners to make the Old Eds Road Race the cleanest race in Johannesburg, #RunItBinIt. Keep our streets clean and set an example by putting all your waste in a bin. Stop the Drop!
