About:
The roots of the June 16 Uprising Race, lies in the historic events of the 1976 Soweto Students Uprisings. Fueled by the black consciousness movement and driven by a desire for change, thousands of students took to the streets to protest against the oppressive Bantu Education System. Their courage and resilience ignited a movement that reverberated across the country and eventually led to the downfall of apartheid.

Commemorating History: Our race isn't just about running; its about retracing the steps of those who fought for freedom and justice. From the iconic Hector Pieterson Memorial to the former residences of Nobel Peace Prize winners Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu, our route is steeped in history and symbolism.

This inaugural event takes place on the 16th of June and has a 16 kms race as well as a 5kms fun run. The 16 kms will cover significant and historical places of importance, including passing various community stalwarts who were involved in the June 16 Uprisings.
