“We are excited to partner with the iconic Africanbank Soweto Marathon as the event’s official technical sponsor,” says Roger Noades, Director of Joma South Africa. “This prestigious marathon serves as the perfect platform for Joma to showcase our top tier running footwear. Our goal is to provide runners of all levels with a tried-and-tested international choice in technical footwear at an incredibly competitive price, delivering unmatched value.”
“Adding to the excitement, we are proud to introduce the official Soweto Marathon event shoe for the 2024 race, making it one of only eight major road runs across the world to feature this distinctive offering. Alongside renowned events like the Paris 20k, Ibiza Marathon, Rome Marathon, Porto Marathon (Portugal), Firenze/Florence Marathon, the Madrid Half Marathon, and South Africa’s own Durban International Marathon, this shoe adds to the event’s prestige,” continues Noades. “The Joma R-2000 has been carefully selected as the official footwear for the 2024 event, representing our most comprehensive, versatile, and comfortable shoe innovation to date. Our aim is to meet the diverse needs of all runners, ensuring they experience the utmost comfort throughout their journey.”
