The ASICS FrontRunner Application Phase 2026 has officially come to a close, and we’re excited to share the outcome.

We’ve carefully reviewed every application, and once again, choosing wasn’t easy. Your stories, energy, and passion for movement truly stood out, showing us what it means to move with ASICS and live the philosophy of a sound mind in a sound body. From thousands of inspiring applications worldwide, our new members have now been selected to join the global ASICS FrontRunner team for the year ahead.

Together, they’ll represent the power of running, community, and self-expression—sharing their journeys and motivating others to move more, in mind and body.
Now, we’re proud to introduce the 4 runners who will join the ASICS FrontRunner South African team for 2026.

Congratulations to Dani Lubbe, Ningi Mkhabela, Vincent Buter and Erin Japhta ! We cant wait to see what you get up to in 2026.
