The 40th annual Stor-Age Pirates 10K will take place at Pirates Club on Sunday 05 August. The route of the popular running race will take participants through the leafy and historic suburbs of Westcliff and Parkview in Johannesburg.
An annual festivity
Every year, the area pulses with excitement and energy as runners and their families take part in the festivities of the event. This year, as the 40th edition of the annual event, the day is expected to be even bigger and better. The race starts and finishes at Pirates Club in Greenside. The scenic route includes wonderful moments such as running past the 100-year-old Parkview Golf course.
Despite the chilly weather that dominates August, Bradley Nelson, Race Director for Stor-Age Pirates 10K, claims the Stor-Age Pirates 10K as ‘Joburg’s warmest winter 10km’. The festive atmosphere on the route and at the finish contributes to this warm feeling. The race attracts some of Joburg’s fastest runners whilst also providing a platform for novices wanting to go further than a fun run.
Participants have the choice of entering either the 10km run or the 10km walk. The walk constitutes as an official CGA Walking league event.
