The 2024 Winner of the Balwin Properties apartment valued at R800k

“I can’t believe it, actually. It’s all so surreal… This is absolutely going to change my life, just to be on the property ladder is something I’ve been wanting for a very long time and to now actually own property, to own an apartment… to have a place I can call my own is so amazing and wonderful.” – 2024 Winner, Kerry Hill

2025 - Balwin Sport Jeppe Marathon - PrizeMoney

Check out our Routes

42km | 21km | 10km | 5km

The marathon is a two-lapper around Bedfordview and Edenvale, starting off with atough first 10km featuring several inclines before the halfway mark, but it’s the downhill past Gillooly’s Farm in the last stretch that everyone looks forward to for some relief. Just don’t get carried away, because the last kilometre provides a nasty little uphill pull!

Race day gives athletes a little bit of everything: A tough 42km or 21km (one lap of the marathon), as well as a 10km race and a 5km fun run around Senderwood. 

All the info including maps and elevation profiles with GPX files can be downloaded on the Route Info page.

Our Charities

George Bizos SAHETI Scholarship and Bursary Fund (GBSSBF)

In 2003, the Board of SAHETI, on the initiative of Advocate George Bizos and his initial financial contribution, established a Scholarship and Bursary Fund to assist and attract learners of outstanding ability who are in financial need. In announcing the establishment of the Fund, Advocate Bizos emphasized that the spirit of Hellenism belongs to the world at large, and that SAHETI has a special responsibility to nurture it. “Our doors should be open to at least some pupils of excellence who would otherwise be unable to afford a quality education.” There are many learners from various communities who yearn to learn at SAHETI and whose parents do not have the means.

Balwin Foundation

The Balwin Foundation has long been committed to forging a brighter future for underserved communities, focusing on the transformation of one life at a time. Our initiative encompasses a broad spectrum from education and healthcare to food provision and essential support, all aimed at making a lasting impact on those who need it most.
