Randburg Harriers Valentine’s 10 km Race

The Randburg Harriers Valentine’s 10 km Race  is back! This year, with the prospect of night-time curfews and loadshedding, the race will be held on a Saturday afternoon rather than a Friday night. Nevertheless, the race will capture the essential vibe of its Valentine’s theme, with many of the well-known features of the much-loved and very popular Night Race still in place. Bring your partners, bring your family and friends, dress up in the Valentine’s theme, run or walk, and join in the post-race festivities and entertainment. Follow the Randburg Harriers social media channels on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Strava for up-to-date race information.

This year, the field is limited to 2,000 participants, and it is a pre-entry only event. This race attracts many first-time participants, and access roads to the venue can become congested, so please arrive early.

Virtual Run & Cycle for Hope

Our 2020 event was incredibly successful, with over 2000 runners, walkers and cyclists taking part in our first-ever virtual event! Through contributions, we were able to provide 2000 Bibles to people in need, as well as 2000 literacy books specifically for children. That’s 4000 lives changed!

This year we want to go bigger and better! Our 2021 event continues to support the Bible Society’s goal to distribute 2 million Bibles in celebration of their 200th year. 

This year we have spread our wings in many ways, one being offering you amazing merchandise that can be bought with your entry! Our tees are made of a moisture management fabric, perfect to use for your run or cycle, and our buffs are the ultimate accessory to use every day as we head into the colder season!

Tees are optional and priced at R165 and our buffs R60, delivery will be done through PAXI and all info will be collected at the time of entry! Medals will once again be Free of Charge, but you will need to cover the courier fee to get it to you. If you would like to order for more than one person, it’s no problem please just add all the merchandise to one entry so you only pay one delivery fee.

If you would like to get your tee and buff before race day you need to place your order before the 1st of July 2021, all entries received after that will only receive merchandise once the event has taken place.
