Looking for a half marathon in Tzaneen?

The Lenyenye Half Marathon is a 21.1km road-running challenge based at Lenyenye Stadium, near Tzaneen. Part of the annual Lenyenye Colour Run, the programme also welcomes 10km runners and walkers, plus families taking part in a 5km colour run/walk.

Searching for a Tzaneen marathon? Be aware that a half marathon covers 21.1km, rather than the full marathon distance of 42.2km. Lenyenye offers the half-marathon distance, not a 42.2km event.
