Johannesburg’s east side turns into race territory as the Balwin Sport Jeppe Marathon rolls out a two-lap road marathon alongside half, 10K and 5K options. Starting and finishing at Saheti School (Senderwood), the route threads smooth suburban tarmac through Bedfordview and Edenvale with gentle undulations, generous aid stations and big club support. It’s a staple qualifier for South Africa’s majors, equally welcoming to first-timers, PB chasers and seeding hunters. Expect closed roads, chip timing, lively pacing buses and an energetic finish area that feels more like a festival than a funnel.

Also on Sunday, 8 February 2026, the Balwin Sport Jeppe 5 km Fun Run rounds out the programme from the same SAHETI School start, under the Balwin Sport/Jeppe Quondam banner. Designed for families, walkers and newer runners, this accessible 5 km keeps things relaxed while still delivering medals, race village energy and a taste of a major Johannesburg race day.
The Balwin Sport Jeppe 10 km takes place the same morning in Senderwood, Johannesburg, again starting at SAHETI School and organised by Jeppe Quondam AC. This shorter distance follows part of the marathon loop on closed or controlled roads, making it ideal for runners chasing a sharp 10 km time while sharing the atmosphere of the bigger events.
Also on 8 February 2026, the Balwin Sport Jeppe Half Marathon (21.1 km) sets off from SAHETI School under the same Jeppe Quondam AC organisation. Using a single lap of the Bedfordview–Edenvale circuit, this half gives runners a challenging but rewarding qualifier with big-race vibe and strong local support.
