The streets of the Jacaranda City will be buzzing with excitement on Sunday 27 August 2023 when thousands of runners toe the line to #RunTheirCity at the inaugural Absa RUN YOUR CITY TSHWANE 10K.
A mass participation road running series that features an impressive Elite Racing Element, the Absa RUN YOUR CITY Series consists of five iconic races in Gqeberha, Cape Town, Durban, Tshwane and Johannesburg. Event routes place the host city on a pedestal, highlighting iconic landmarks and featuring nonstop entertainment from start to finish.
“We can’t wait to introduce Tshwane runners (and walkers) to the excitement of the Absa RUN YOUR CITY Series,” says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports and Founder of the Absa RUN YOUR CITY Series. “Whether an elite or social runner, entrants can look forward to an on-route experience like no other. Another exciting feature of the series is that social runners will get to rub shoulders with the elites, while getting the opportunity to watch SA’s elite runners compete against the world’s best runners on home soil.”
“Introducing the Absa RUN YOUR CITY Series to the streets of Tshwane is long overdue,” continues Meyer. “The event is guaranteed to be a memorable experience for all involved. Sign up today, grab your family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers and prepare to #RunYourCity.”
