Lace up and run Pretoria’s most loved race
The TuksRace is back and set to breathe life into the streets of Pretoria! Dust off your running shoes, stretch and bring the entire family to run on Saturday, 17 February 2024 at the University of Pretoria’s Hillcrest Sports Campus in Hatfield.

Runners of all fitness levels are invited to enter the 21.1km half-marathon, the 10km or 5km races, or a colourful 1km fun run / walk.
