We\u2019re thrilled to open entries for 2024 and would like to encourage runners and walkers to register early to secure their spot on the start line. Join us for an invigorating morning alongside women from diverse backgrounds as we paint the streets of Cape Town, Durban, and Johannesburg pink in support of PinkDrive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nikki Crous, head of marketing for Totalsports, said the iconic event is a celebration of a woman\u2019s strength and empowerment, and implores women from all walks of life to join in the fitness fun and showcase the power and unity of women in South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Runners can enter the 10 km or 5 km, which starts ar 08:00 and 08:10 respectively.
