“The Friday 5K Solo Run Series powered by PUMA has been the source of a lot of excitement,” says Dezroy Poole, Director of Stillwater Sports.  “We love that Fridays have become synonymous with runners completing 5km runs while sporting previous year’s turquoise RYCS event t-shirts.  We invite all runners to join us this coming Friday for our final Friday 5K Solo Run.  This week’s sponsor prizes will include a pair of stylish PUMA UltraRide Running Shoes to the value of R2 000, a case of refreshing Coca Cola, POWERADE/POWERADE ZERO and Bonaqua Water, a must-have Covim Coffee Machine distributed by Rialto Foods, valued at R3 500 and an ‘Experience Cape Town Package’ worth over R1000 compliments of The President Hotel Cape Town.  As it’s the final run we will also announce the winner of the very exciting grand prize, an impressive PUMA x FIRST MILE Hamper and a pair of PUMA Ultraride Running Shoes, to the value of R10 000.  We look forward to enjoying the final Friday 5K Solo Run with runners.  Remember to share your photographs with us.”

The Friday 5K Solo Run Series forms part of an exciting campaign that builds up to the Absa RYCS Heritage Day Virtual Run (taking place on Thursday 24 September 2020).

 

DHLLET’S MAKE A DIFFERENCE TOGETHER! RYCS participants will receive their Race Packs in a DHL box.  The box is perfectly sized to take a pair of their ‘pre-loved’ running shoes.  DHL is asking runners to donate these shoes (shoes that are no longer being used) to someone in need.  Simply drop your DHL box packed with a pair of your pre-loved running shoes at any DHL outlet before the 5th of October 2020 and DHL will deliver them to charities associated with the race.  Don’t forget to tag @DHLAfrica on social media when you’re boxing your shoes.  Include #DHLDelivers for additional spot prizes!

When dropping off the shoes, runners will also receive a 20% DHL Express discount voucher for shipping that same box size to any destination across the world which can be used before 15 October 2020. T&C’s Apply.  Help DHL to spread the love and deliver some joy this Heritage Day!

 

EXCITING NEWSThe RYCS Tracking App is READY to be downloaded from the App Store (iOS) and Google Play Store (Android).  The Tracking App must be used to track runner’s progress on their actual route, while showing their ‘virtual position’ on the Cape Town, Durban or Joburg event routes.
