The final race in an action-packed series of three, the Totalsports Women’s Race Joburg will see 12 000 runners and walkers unite in a vibrant celebration of fitness, fun, and female empowerment.
“Being part of an event that empowers women through sport is incredibly meaningful,” says More. “It’s about celebrating women’s strength, resilience, and determination. Sport has the power to unite, inspire, and empower women of all backgrounds and fitness levels. It can have a profound impact on women’s lives by fostering confidence, self-esteem, and a sense of accomplishment.
My goal is to run smart and finish strong. I look forward to running with the strong girls because they build my confidence, and as a young, upcoming athlete, it motivates me to be in the mix with the big sharks who have the experience – they’ve been there, they’ve done that. I just want to run my own race, and hopefully, I’ll get a personal best out of it.”
When asked what message she would like to share with fellow entrants, More responded: “By lacing up your running shoes and hitting the pavement, you’re joining a journey that transcends competition and celebrates womanhood. Keep your head up high and have fun. You’re a champion for starting and finishing the race. I’m proud of you, and remember – it’s all about you, so enjoy every moment.”
Karabo Mailula will make her Totalsports Women’s Race Joburg debut on the day.
“I look forward to trying out the Totalsports Women’s Race Joburg course,” says Mailula. “The Totalsports Women’s Race values women and shows that they are capable of participating in sport while maintaining their health and well-being. I’m excited to finish strong, stay healthy, and achieve good results. My goal is a top 10 finish.”
In closing, Mailula adds: “My message to fellow entrants is to enjoy the race and continue participating in events like these to maintain your health.”
“It’s fantastic to have two rising stars like Karabo More and Karabo Mailula lining up at the Totalsports Women’s Race in Joburg,” says Nikki Crous, Head of Marketing at Totalsports. “As the final event in an inspiring series of three, it’s bound to be a race and a day to remember.
