The race has been awarded elite label status by world athletics, which increases the prize money.
“The race forms part of our strategy to revive athletics. Remember, we had lockdown regulation and we needed to think out of the box. As soon as the president announced Level 1, we knew we needed to be on the road again. So, the first edition went well, but we are more optimistic about this one. Athletics contributes immensely to tourism,” says James Moloi, President of Athletics South Africa.
The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality has signed a contract to keep the race in Gqeberha until 2024. The city is no stranger to hosting world class sporting events.
