Stillwater Sports, organisers of one of South Africa’s premier 10km road running series, the Absa RUN YOUR CITY Series, have confirmed that the 2026 season will kick off earlier than ever. The Absa RUN YOUR CITY GQEBERHA 10K moves from its usual April slot to Sunday, 01 March 2026.
“We’re excited to announce that the Absa RUN YOUR CITY GQEBERHA 10K will be moving to a new date in 2026, taking place on Sunday, 01 March,” says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports and Series Founder. “This means we’ll be kicking off the 2026 season sooner, giving runners an exciting start to the year. After a sold-out 2025 event that celebrated some incredible performances, we’re looking forward to building on that success and seeing even more impressive results in 2026.”
Gqeberha continues to be an outstanding host city. With its scenic coastal routes and vibrant atmosphere, it provides the perfect backdrop for runners of all levels to chase personal bests while enjoying the beauty of the Bay.
“The support from the local community and the energy on race day make Gqeberha a memorable venue every year and a perfect start to a world-class series,” Meyer adds. “We encourage runners to secure their entry early to be part of what promises to be another unforgettable event.”
