The RUN YOUR CITY (RYC) Series is helping runners from across South Africa to get ready for the action-packed JOBURG 10K CITYRUN Virtual Edition that will take place on National Heritage Day (Friday 24 September 2021) by hosting bi-weekly 5K WARM UP RUNS powered by PUMA NITRO.
The next WARM UP RUN, the RYC WARM UP RUN #2 powered by PUMA NITRO will take place in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town on Thursday 02 September 2021 and is open to 50 runners per city in adherence to COVID-19 regulations.
“The 5K WARM UP RUNS powered by PUMA NITRO are a fun way for the RYC community to get fit in time for the JOBURG 10K CITYRUN Virtual Edition,” says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports and Founder of the RUN YOUR CITY Series. “Runners can look forward to catching up with old friends and making new friends while getting outdoors and keeping fit by completing a 5km run. Each runner can decide how fast he or she would like to complete the run. The only requirement is that they ‘BRING THE GEES’.”
“To add to the excitement, runners will be able to #WearTest a pair of PUMA NITRO running shoes at the WARM UP RUNS,” continues Meyer. “PUMA has been the footwear and apparel partner of the RYC Series since the inception of the first event (Cape Town 12K CITYRUN) in 2015. We absolutely love the brand. Not only will the RYC Series running community get to try on the new range, but they can also complete the 5km run in a pair of PUMA NITROs. Get ready to #RUNPUMA and #SparkChange.”
