The iconic #ForeverFaster PUMA Beat Bolt Sprint is set to go virtual at the Absa Run Your City Series Heritage Day Virtual Run on Thursday 24 September 2020!
“The PUMA Beat Bolt Sprint is a firm favourite at all the Absa RYCS events,” says Agne du Plessis, Stillwater Sports Head of Road Running. “We were ecstatic to hear that PUMA wanted it to be included in the Virtual Run. The final 100m of the Virtual Run Course will make up the PUMA Beat Bolt Sprint. The RYCS App will tell runners when they have entered the final kilometre of the run. When runners reach the start of the final 100m they will be told to run as fast as they can. Once they reach the 10km or 10km mark (depending on the chosen course) the RYCS App will stop recording and runners will get to view their race splits and finish time.”
“We cannot wait for the PUMA ‘Beat Bolt’ Sprint to go virtual,” says PUMA Marketing Director Brett Bellinger. “It’s exciting that the RYCS App will warn runners when they are about to enter the PUMA Beat Bolt Sprint final 100m. Remember that you are going up against Bolt, so speed is required. Be sure to reserve some energy and give it your all over the final 100m. The male and female runner with the fastest time will each take home a R10 000 PUMA Retail Shopping Experience. There are also additional prizes for runners who complete the sprint in under 15, 20 and 25 seconds.”
