Participants can enter for a full 42.2km marathon, a 21.1km half-marathon, or 10km race. Runners can also take part in a five-kilometre 'fun run'.
Along the route, refreshment stations will aim to celebrate the best music of the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s while Music Marathon Radio will once again be available on the OFM app. There will also be food and refreshments available for purchase on the day.
"Last year’s event was a resounding success. The Music Marathon has turned into one of Bloemfontein’s biggest races, having obtained phenomenal results in year one," says Nick Efstathiou, OFM’s general manager.
"This year’s event is once again hosted by Bloemfontein Achilles Running Club, and we expect it to be even bigger and better. I would like to encourage our loyal listeners to run, walk or support the runners on the day and join in the fun," Efstathiou adds.
Prize money and gold medals are up for grabs for the official winners in the 42.2km, 21.1km and 10km categories. The best-dressed runner in the 5km category will also win a R5 000 travel voucher.
