The KPMG SunMile is an exciting Street Mile (1.6km) through the streets of Sandton. Friendly, colleagues take each other on in a unique team event sure to get the heart racing.

KPMG and Sun International are proud to announce a new event on the local running calendar for early next year - the KPMG SunMile. On Thursday 23 February, some of the streets of Sandton will be reserved exclusively for clubs, corporates, charities, friends and families to challenge each other in this fun-filled street mile challenge for teams of five runners.

All running clubs and companies are invited to enter one or more teams, which will compete in different categories. Even better, challenge other clubs or companies to take your team on for some street racing! You'll also be rubbing shoulders with elite athletes and Olympians like Elroy Gelant and Christine Kalmer, as well as Comrades Marathon and Old Mutual Two Oceans Ultra Marathon champion Caroline Wöstmann.

This is all set to be a hugely fun event with a carnival, street racing atmosphere. The event will feature great entertainment, ranging from music to activations on the route, as well as hospitality zones and an exclusive runners-only after-party at Taboo Nightclub!
