I
don ’ t know what it is about the human spirit that makes someone want to take on a challenge such as the Pirates 21k powered by Medshield . We are very grateful for it however as it means we get to host 4000 of you on a grueling 21k race that takes you over some of Joburg ’ s toughest hills and tests your grit and determination all along the way . We thank the running community for coming out in support of this , the 46th edition of this historic race and also to our volunteers and sponsors that make this an unforgettable experience for all involved . I wish you luck as you go “ Over the Mountain ” this Sunday and we look forward to celebrating with you as you cross that finish line !

Being part of the team putting together ‘ Joburgs toughest ’ 21km , just again highlights why Pirates Road Running club is so iconic ! In the build up hearing both old and new stories have definitely made me super proud . We , as a club committee have been working furiously behind the scenes powered by Medshield Medical Scheme and our other partners Hot 102.7 fm , SMG Toyota Cresta to ensure for both the elite and every day runner an incredible day out on the road . Hope you are ready to conquer both K1 and K2 , I ’ ll be on the field to make sure you get your medal and a proper high five !
