CMTrading has proudly announced its sponsorship of the first event in the Balwin Sport Marathon Series, which consists of four races around South Africa, kicking off with the Rand Athletic Club’s two-lapper Jeppe Marathon. Each of the events in the series are among the country’s oldest and are critical for those looking to qualify for the Comrades and Two Ocean’s marathons.

The CMTrading sponsored Jeppe Marathon kicks off on the 11th of February 2024 at the Saheti School and will be followed by the Cape Peninsula Marathon on 18 February 2024, the Phobians Pretoria Marathon on 25 February 2024, and finally, the Dolphins Coast marathon on 17 March 2024.

With their strong belief in community engagement, CMTrading has seen the opportunity to both support South Africa’s athletics communities and hopefully, introduce them to the cutting edge world of online trading.

Jonathan Bergman, VP of Marketing at CMTrading, expressed his enthusiasm about the event, stating, "At CMTrading, we believe in the parallel spirit of endurance and strategy in both sports and trading. Sponsoring the Rand Athletic Club’s Jeppe Marathon aligns with our commitment to supporting local communities and introducing them to the exciting possibilities within the financial markets. This event marks not only a celebration of athleticism but also an invitation for individuals to explore the world of online trading with CMTrading."

Participants of any of the day’s 42km, 21km, 10km, or 5km distances will have the unique opportunity to engage with CMTrading representatives onsite, learn about their comprehensive services, gain valuable advice and insights from seasoned professionals, and receive a special welcome offer to kick-start their investment journey with CMTrading.

The event will serve as a unique brand awareness exercise, for CMTrading who are looking to inspire drive and determination in online trading just as those running the marathon inspire others with their physical prowess. Like with any athletic achievement, successful online trading takes dedication, commitment, research and wisdom, something CMTrading has reinforced through its long-term dedication to uplifting and educating African traders. With more than a decade of business in the country, CMTrading is now considered one of Africa's veteran online brokers, offering a trusted platform for traders of all levels.
