THE INAUGURAL Boxer Super Run Joburg promises to produce fireworks with the clash between winners of the Tshwane and Durban races set to go head-to-head in the 5km race scheduled for Marks Park on Sunday.

The distance is arguably the only one in which track specialists and road runners can compete without the other enjoying too much of an advantage. This is what excited Luan Munnik who won last year’s Boxer Super Run Tshwane.

“Its where a 1500m track specialist like me can mix it up with the longer-distance road runners. It’s fast, tactical, and tests complete fitness,” says Munnik who is looking forward to squaring up to Ryan Mphahlele.

“Ryan ran a really good race, and his range on both the track and road has been very impressive this year. He's clearly in great form. We met in a close finish at a street mile recently, so 'm looking forward to giving him a run for his money over 5km now.”
