Deputy President Paul Mashatile will on Saturday participate in the Alex 10K race in Alexandra township, Gauteng.
The Alex 10K race entered its second year in 2025, following Adreach Group's three-year partnership with Run Alex Athletics Club. This collaboration is aimed not only to revive road running events in Alexandra but to promote local tourism under the theme: 'Explore Alex on Foot'.
“The purpose for the race is to fund grassroots operations for the Run Alex Athletics Club and support the Read Alex Project, a Saturday programme aimed at improving literacy and educational outcomes for local children,” the Presidency said in a statement.
The 2025 event saw the participation numbers increase by 58%, from 1400 starters in 2024 to 2220 starters in 2025.
Over 3 000 participants are expected to partake in this year’s race, as they will explore Alexandra’s rich history. – SAnews.gov.za
