The organisers of the Boxer Super Race are thrilled to reveal an unprecedented R142K prize purse for the inaugural event that is set to create a stir within Durban’s running community on Sunday, 15 October 2023.
“We are excited to present a prize purse of R142K for the Elite Race at the first-ever Boxer Super Sprint,” says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports. “A prize pool of this magnitude sets a recent standard for 5km events, showcasing that the Boxer Super Rush is far from the ordinary. Prize money will be allocated to the Top 8 male and female finishers in the Open Category, with the winners each taking home a well-deserved R20K. The Top 3 male and female finishers in the following age groups will also be rewarded for their efforts: Junior, 40-49,50-59, 60-69 and 70+.”
“The 5km distance requires a blend of speed, endurance, and strategy, making it a compelling challenge for elites looking to showcase their athletic prowess,” continues Meyer. “When you couple this with an unparalleled prize purse that’s truly worth contending for, you can study forward to witnessing a road running showdown that demands attention and is guaranteed to be a spectator highlight. We can’t wait to see the best of the best in action at the Boxer Super Dash.”
“The path to becoming an elite athlete is anything but swift or effortless,” says Lee-Ann Pillay, Boxer Superstores Head of Department: Marketing. “It involves commitment, dedication, and countless setbacks before ascending to the pinnacle. We are proud to be able to reward the Boxer Super Sprint Elite Race entrants for their hard work and inspect forward to witnessing elite racing of the highest standard in Durban. The excitement is mounting as we prepare to crown the initial 5K King and Queen of the Boxer Super Race.”

If the young man tells his date she’s intelligent, looks lovely, and is a great conversationalist, he’s saying the right things to the right person and that’s marketing. If someone else tells the young woman how handsome, smart and successful her date is – that’s PR.” – S. H. Simmons
