Entries for the 2024 Soweto Marathon on November 3 will open at midnight on Thursday, organisers announced at the Sakhumzi restaurant on Vilakazi Street in Soweto earlier in the day.
But the finish of the race will move back to Nasrec after complaints from runners who had to climb a mountain of stairs to get out of the FNB Stadium.
Running clubs also felt disconnected by not having their tents closer to the finish.
Race director Danny Blumberg, in charge of this event for the 10th time, said the race would start on the Golden Highway as it did in previous years when it finished at Nasrec.
Prize money, with the mens and womens winners earning R250,000 each, would remain the same.
