“We are thrilled to open entries for the 2023 Absa RUN YOUR CITY Series,” says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports and Founder of the Absa RUN YOUR CITY Series
“Although renowned for its elite racing element where SA’s elite runners get to race against the world’s best on home soil, the Absa RUN YOUR CITY Series is also a mass participation series that grants all entrants the unique opportunity to explore their city on foot.
To date, the series has been exceptionally well received in Cape Town, Durban, and Johannesburg. For this reason, we are proud to grow the series in 2023 with the introduction of Gqeberha and Tshwane as host cities.”
“We are excited to take the Absa RUN YOUR CITY Series to five major cities in 2023, growing our reach while giving more South Africans the opportunity to be part of the experience,” continues Meyer. “Entrants can look forward to an action-packed 10km journey that highlights important landmarks and features exciting live entertainment.
