The 160+ page Summer edition is on shelves nationwide

Your favourite large format coffee table mag, by South Africans for South Africans, is packed with motivation to kick off your assault on 2026. A big fat, photo-rich, deep read is ready for your slow time on the couch, bed, toilet, pool or beach this holiday.

 You'll enjoy rad race reviews & a comprehensive calendar, interviews & opinions of interesting runners like Stuart Mann who sheds more light on the last moment cancellation of the Cape Town marathon, solid shoe reviews, training advice and much more to fuel your favourite sport - especially when you're struggling to get going which we know can be hard. 

Speaking of hard, did you know that it's only 6 months to the Comrades marathon? If that freaks you out too then check out our Comrades cheat sheet on page 69 to find out how you can smile rather than cry for the camera in Maritzburg on June 14.   

Our cover athlete interview is the crazy talented Tayla Kavanagh who many are touting as our next Saffa superstar, some calling her the next Gerda. Get to know all about our new SA champ, who at just 24 is shooting the lights out.

Whether you run on trails or on the road we have potent features for each of you. Our race reviews are up to 10 pages long so you'll get a real sense of experiences to diarise for 2026.  

This big fat mag makes an ideal Christmas stocking filler or a life changing gift to someone who needs to get healthier or those that may see themselves as "just a jogger".

Head to your nearest Woolworths, Exclusive Books and participating Spars, Clicks, PnP, Dischem or Checkers from Friday 12 Dec. Before you go there check out our RUN mag stockist list here.

For those that prefer the convenience of digital reading, you can download the Summer edition of RUN mag here.

Happy healthy holidays to you all! There's nothing like running with no alarm clock & then you can get home and laze around in running shorts for ages - no office or meetings to rush to.
