The Runner Awards™ is expanding its footprint, and in 2026 we bring the celebration of excellence, resilience and innovation to Gauteng — the economic heart of South Africa.

Following the success of the KZN 2025 inaugural event, the Gauteng edition forms part of a broader vision to grow the awards into a national platform that recognises outstanding individuals and organisations across the country.

This edition will showcase:

• Visionaries shaping Gauteng’s future

• Businesses driving socio-economic change

• Community builders creating meaningful impact

• Innovators and rising talents in various sectors

Prepare for an evening of prestige, empowerment, and world-class recognition.
