Chidzivo inspired to Celebrate Women at the Totalsports Women’s Race Cape Town

Zimbabwean long-distance star Fortunate Chidzivo is looking forward to celebrating National Women’s Day alongside thousands of women at the Totalsports Women’s Race in the Mother City on Sunday, 09 August 2026.

No stranger to success in the Mother City, Chidzivo claimed top honours at the Totalsports Women’s Race Cape Town in 2022 and will be looking to add another memorable performance to her impressive record.

“It’s always a pleasure to line up for the Totalsports Women’s Race,” says Chidzivo. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to celebrate women while doing what I love most – running. It’s a truly unique way to mark the occasion. As for my performance, I’m not putting any pressure on myself. I simply want to enjoy the race and embrace the experience. I’ve competed in the Totalsports Women’s Race several times, and each one has been a special and memorable occasion.”

Echoing Chidzivo’s excitement, Head of Marketing at Totalsports, Nikki Crous, says the Totalsports Women’s Race is about far more than crossing the finish line – it’s about celebrating the strength, unity and spirit of women from all walks of life.

“National Women’s Day is a time to honour the incredible women who inspire us every day, and the Totalsports Women’s Race provides the perfect platform to celebrate that spirit through movement, camaraderie and empowerment,” says Crous. “We are excited to welcome Fortunate Chidzivo back to Cape Town and look forward to seeing thousands of women come together to create another unforgettable Women’s Day celebration. Whether you’re chasing a personal best, walking with friends or taking part for the first time, this event is about embracing the joy of being active while celebrating the remarkable power of women.”
