After securing a phenomenal victory at the Absa RUN YOUR CITY GQEBERHA 10K earlier this year in an impressive time of 31:45, Kenya’s Jane Ghati Chacha has now set her sights on women’s-only racing at the Totalsports Women’s Race in Durban on Sunday, 03 August 2025, and Cape Town on Saturday, 09 August 2025.
“I entered the Durban and Cape Town Totalsports Women’s Races because they are well-organised events that attract strong athletes to the start line,” admits Chacha. “I want to improve my PB in both cities while gaining experience.”
When asked what she thought about the fact that the Totalsports Women’s Race celebrates and honours women, the Kenyan said it was a very good purpose.
“Women are strong and independent in daily life, and sport gives us even more self-confidence,” she said. “My message to the thousands of female athletes taking part is to be the best version of yourself today, so you can make your younger self proud.”
“We are incredibly excited to welcome Jane Chacha to the start line of the Totalsports Women’s Race in both Durban and Cape Town,” says Nikki Crous, Head of Marketing at Totalsports. “Jane is a world-class athlete who brings an exciting level of elite competition to the event. Her presence elevates the racing experience for all participants. We’re honoured to have her as part of the Totalsports Women’s Race. We can’t wait to see her in action and wish her all the best for both events.”
