Jozi's spiciest run is here and you're invited! Join the Vitality Chicken Run, flavoured by Nando's, on Saturday, 8 November, as we take on the streets of the City of Gold with a 5 km or 10 km evening run that's made for the brave.

Running through the heart of the city at night takes guts - and that's exactly what makes it unforgettable. The lights, the sounds, the pulse of Jozi... it's all part of the flavour.

Whether your running style is on the MILDER side or if you're coming in HOT... this is a run for everyone!

Jozi's changing - and we're running right through it

The Jozi CBD and its surrounding areas are buzzing with new energy, bold developments and a renewed sense of pride. This run is your chance to experience that change firsthand - to move through the streets that are being reimagined and revitalised through the efforts of Jozi My Jozi.

Don't think you're tough enough? Think again!

If you've ever sprinted for a taxi, dodged potholes like a pro, or taken the stairs because the power was out (again) - your training has already begun! In fact, you've been training for it your whole life.

This run is about courage, community and the spirit of Mzansi. It's not about being the fastest - it's about showing up, stepping out, and owning the streets with pride. You've totes got this!

Need more motivation to enter? For every participant who crosses the finish line of the Vitality Chicken Run, flavoured by Nando's, a meal will be donated to a child in the Lorentzville community. So now you're really in it to wing it!
