Taking place on Sunday 28 April 2024, the Durban International Marathon is one of seven iconic road runs that boast a limited edition Joma Sports event shoe - joining the ranks of esteemed international events such as the Paris 20k, Ibiza Marathon, Rome Marathon, Porto Marathon, Firenze/Florence Marathon and the Madrid Half Marathon.
“The Joma #WeRunDurban R-2000 event shoe represents Joma's most comprehensive, versatile, and comfortable shoe innovation to date,” says Roger Noades, Director of Joma South Africa. “The shoe is crafted with precision and purposefully designed to cater to the diverse requirements of participants taking on either the Marathon or the accompanying 10k race, ensuring performance and comfort for all. Our aim is to provide a tried, tested, and reputable international choice in technical footwear at an incredibly competitive price point, delivering unmatched value to runners of all levels."
The color scheme of the Joma #WeRunDurban R-2000 event shoe draws inspiration from the vibrant tapestry of Durban, a place for exploration, adventure, and serenity. From its pristine beaches to the lush greenery, Durban's natural beauty serves as the foundation for the design. The cool, tranquil cyan blue seamlessly merges with the invigorating vibrancy of lemon and lime, reflecting the city's balance of calmness and vitality.
The shoe's design incorporates a motif of shields, symbolizing the rich history and heritage of the province – a land of warriors that now stand at the starting line of one of South Africa’s most prestigious international marathons, the Durban International Marathon.
In closing Noades adds: “Joma is thrilled to be the technical sponsor of the Durban International Marathon. We are ready to cater to the diverse needs of all runners (marathon and 10k), ensuring that they experience ultimate comfort during their journey."
SPECIAL EVENT OFFERING: The limited-edition Joma #WeRunDurban R-2000 event shoe will retail for R2200.00 in the South African market, but when entering the 2024 Durban International Marathon event online runners can purchase the shoe at a discounted rate of R1499.00.
