On October 12, the inner city of Johannesburg will say hello to 10 000 runners who will be challenged to push to new limits in this year’s edition of Nike’s We Run Jozi 10 kilometer night race.
The night race, being hosted in the heart of Johannesburg’s central business district, offers runners a challenging course, of which a section on route splits, with half of the field running ‘Move Uptown’ and the other half ‘Move Downtown’, for the same distance.
Merging halfway into the race, the runners unite at the race village just after the finish line at Mary Fitzgerald Square.
Runners will then receive a race day tee, colour coded to the split section on route.
Every runner who crosses the finish line will receive a medal, gain access to the race village on the Square where they will be able to view the Nike+ leader-board as it updates live.
Runners must use the hashtag movejozi (#movejozi), to have their run captured on the leader-board.
Runners who joined Nike’s first training runs in August and ignited the #movejozi movement are invited to pre-register by way of a unique code sent to them and secure their spot in the We Run Jozi 10k race.
A portion of the race fee is automatically donated to the development of Alex Butterflies, a running development programme for children in primary schools between the ages of 7 and 12 years. – Sport Industry
