Ultimate Fast Challenge | 2026

The 2026 Ultimate Fast Challenge Race takes place on Saturday, 29 August 2026, starting at 07h00 from Kolonnade Retail Park in Montana, Pretoria, Gauteng. 🏃‍♂️🌿

Proudly brought to you by Athletics Gauteng North and organised by Nexa AC, this road running event offers both a 10km road race and a 5km fun run, making it suitable for club runners, licensed athletes, social runners, walkers, beginners, families, and local supporters. 👟
