Set for September 21, 2025, the Waterfall City Half Marathon offers runners a vibrant race experience through the modern urban landscape of Waterfall City, just outside Johannesburg. Participants can choose from three distances: the chip-timed 21.1 km half marathon, 10K, or 5K fun run, each following fast and well-marked routes with hydration stations every 3 km. With an early 6:00 AM start, the event is officially sanctioned by ASA (Athletics South Africa) and CGA, and offers safe parking, goodie bags, race bibs, and a well-organized collection process at the STADIO Higher Education campus. Hosted by the Waterfall City Athletics Club, also known as “The Blue Waves,” the race draws both competitive athletes and community runners looking for a professionally managed, high-energy event. Scenic routes, strong race support, and a welcoming atmosphere make this one of Gauteng’s premier spring running events.
