Event information
702's Walk the Talk event returns as the reimagined 702 Jozi My Jozi Walk the Talk, presented by Radio 702 in partnership with Jozi My Jozi and the City of Johannesburg.
All routes are wheelchair- and pram-friendly, ensuring accessibility for walkers of all abilities, and begin and end at historic Ellis Park, with participants choosing three meticulously designed routes that celebrate the streets of Joburg.
The first is the 5km Victoria Yards circuit, which immerses walkers in creative hubs and vibrant neighbourhoods. The 8km Main Street route explores Maboneng’s dynamic energy and the city’s storied institutions, while the 15km walk features the Nelson Mandela Bridge and ventures through Newtown’s arts precinct and lively Braamfontein.
There are activation zones and refreshment points along the way to keep participants engaged and energised.
The event is more than just a walk – it is a powerful celebration of community spirit, health, family bonding and meaningful social impact. For instance, 702 Jozi My Jozi Walk the Talk proudly partners with homelessness organisations MES and U-Turn, offering participants the opportunity to purchase Mi-Change blockchain vouchers. These vouchers provide the homeless with access to meals, hygiene facilities, clothing, and shelter.
Each participant will receive a medal upon completion, and food and drinks are available at the finish village, along with activations and entertainment.
