Race dates come from each organiser; TBC dates follow the race’s usual month. Run Mzansi is an independent travel organiser and is not associated with, endorsed by or affiliated with any of these races. Race entries are arranged separately with each organiser.
How a Run Mzansi race trip works
Every trip is built around the people who put their hands up first: where you leave from, whether you run or support, and where you want to sleep.
Travel dates, departure points, stays and prices are finalised per race. Expressing interest is not a booking and does not secure race entry.

Every detail, every stride

Comfortable, race-ready journeys with the crew, not a lonely drive at 3 a.m.

Quality stays near the action, so race-eve sleep actually happens.

Water, bags, lifts and loud voices at the places you need them.

Run as one of us. Leave as family.
