RUN YOUR CITY WARM UP RUNS fueled by PUMA NITRO kick off in Jozi this week!


With only three weeks to go till the streets of Jozi are flooded by a sea of red at the 7th annual Absa RUN YOUR CITY JOBURG 10K, runners and walkers are invited to join four fun filled RUN YOUR CITY (RYC) WARM UP RUNS fueled by PUMA NITRO on 7, 10, 17 and 21 September 2023 in the build up to South Africa’s largest Heritage Day Celebration.


"The RYC WARM UP RUNS, fueled by PUMA NITRO, offers an ideal chance for runners and walkers to loosen up ahead of race day," says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports and Founder of the Absa RUN YOUR CITY Series. "You're free to stroll, jog, or go full throttle; it's your call. The main aim is to revel in a lively 5km with fellow enthusiasts. The RYC WARM UP RUNS are open to both club and non-club participants and come with no entry fee. So, don't forget to invite your loved ones to join in the fun!"


“What makes the RYC WARM UP RUNS extra special is the fact that participants will get to #WearTest PUMA’S newest range of running shoes,” continues Meyer. “PUMA’s technical team will also be present at each run, which will make choosing the perfect PUMA shoe for your running style so much easier. All participants also stand a chance to win amazing prizes courtesy of PUMA South Africa. Once you’ve completed your 5km run, be sure to grab your lucky draw ticket. Join us in September as we get ready to #RunYourCity #fueledbyNITRO."
