The Run Your City (RYC) Series is excited to give runners from across South Africa (and the world) the opportunity to prove that unity is strength by taking part in the STRONGER TOGETHER 5K CHALLENGE on Saturday 31 July 2021.
“We all face adversity at some point in our lives,” says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports and founder of the RYC Series. “The goal of the STRONGER TOGETHER 5K CHALLENGE is to remind runners that we are stronger together and that anything can be accomplished when we are united. We invite all runners to sign up and complete a 5km run between 05:00 – 22:00 on Saturday 31 July 2021. Remember to capture and share your run, routes and photos to the RYC Series Club Page on Strava. Don’t forget to include #RunYourCity #StrongerTogether #RunPuma. An awesome pair of PUMA NITRO running shoes to the value of R4000 is up for grabs. Get out there and make an impact. Your efforts just might inspire others.”

MORE ABOUT THE PUMA NITRO Range:
