Pretty in Pink 5KM | 2026

The Pretty in Pink Ladies 5km takes place at Kings Beach in Summerstrand, Nelson Mandela Bay, bringing women together for a colourful and uplifting Women’s Day celebration. 🏃‍♀️💗

Presented as more than just a race, this ladies-only event is built around strength, beauty, resilience, wellness, and community spirit. Participants are encouraged to run, walk, jog, sprint, or speedwalk the 5km route while wearing pink and enjoying a relaxed, supportive atmosphere. 👟

The event is non-timed, keeping the focus on togetherness rather than individual performance. It is suitable for women of all ages, from young girls to adults, and offers an accessible way to take part in Nelson Mandela Bay’s Women’s Month celebrations. 🎖️

The Pretty in Pink Ladies 5km also supports meaningful women-focused causes, with the event associated with PinkDrive, an organisation focused on cancer awareness, early detection, and screening support in South Africa. 💕
