Running with Purpose: Remembering Zithulele Sinqe in Alexandra
The streets came alive with laughter, medals, and memories — proving that sport still brings people together.
Zithulele Sinqe Series Run 3: A Fun Day in Alexandra
On October 11, 2025, the Run Alex Development Team held the Zithulele Sinqe Series Run 3 at the Altrec Sports Complex in Alexandra township. It was a happy day where runners, kids, families, and friends came together to run, have fun, and remember Zithulele Sinqe, a famous South African runner. The event was full of energy, smiles, and special moments that made everyone feel proud.
Running Together
The streets of Alexandra were buzzing as people ran in the race. Some ran a tough 5 km route with hills, while others did shorter distances so everyone could join in. Kids, adults, and even grandparents ran with excitement. The whole community cheered, clapped, and made the day feel like a big party. The Run Alex Athletic Club showed off their young runners, who worked hard and made everyone proud with their teamwork and spirit.
A Big Day for Kids
For the kids, the race was super exciting. They ran as fast as they could, crossing the finish line with big smiles. Many got medals, which they wore proudly. These medals showed how hard they tried, and the kids felt like champions. The day was special for them, and it might make them love running even more as they grow up.
More Than a Race
This event wasn’t just about running or winning. It was about bringing people together and showing how strong Alexandra is. Everyone supported each other, and it felt like one big family. The race showed that sports can make people happy and help them believe in themselves.
One cool moment was when Mr Price’s Maxed brand gave winners new running shoes. The kids were so excited to get them! The shoes were a prize for their hard work and a way to encourage them to keep running and chasing their dreams.
Remembering Zithulele Sinqe
The best part of the day was when Zithulele Sinqe’s daughter and son gave out the awards. Everyone felt emotional because it reminded them of Zithulele, who was an amazing runner. His kids being there made young runners want to work hard and be like him. It was a special moment that showed how his memory still inspires people.
Thank You to Everyone
The Run Alex Athletic Club said a big thank you to the Zithulele Sinqe Foundation for working with Alexandra. This partnership helps young runners grow and become leaders in their community. The club also thanked all the sponsors, volunteers, and people who cheered. They helped make the race happen, and their support means a lot to the kids and the township.
Looking Forward
As the day ended at the Altrec Sports Complex, everyone was smiling. Runners wore their medals, and the community felt proud and happy. Every step in the race was about more than running—it was about growing, coming together, and honoring a hero.
The Run Alex team is excited for more races in the future. With help from the Zithulele Sinqe Foundation and the love of Alexandra’s people, the future looks bright for young runners.
Here’s to more races, more fun, and more wins—on the track and in life! The Zithulele Sinqe Series Run 3 was a day to remember, and there’s more to come!
