Friday 5K Solo Run powered by PUMA sets the scene for the Heritage Day Virtual Run
The Organisers of the FNB Run Your City Series (RYCS) together with PUMA South Africa are excited to launch the Friday 5K Solo Run campaign.
Consisting of five 5km virtual runs, the Friday 5K Solo Run Series powered by PUMA will take place weekly from Friday 21 August 2020 until Friday 18 September 2020.
“The Friday 5K Solo Run Series forms part of an exciting campaign that will build-up to the FNB RYCS Heritage Day Virtual Run (taking place on Thursday 24 September 2020),” says Agne du Plessis, Stillwater Sports Head of Road Running. “Runners from all over South Africa are invited to partake. There are awesome sponsor prizes up for grabs each week, and at the end of the series, one lucky runner will take home the grand prize which will be an impressive PUMA x FIRST MILE Hamper and a pair of PUMA Ultraride Running Shoes, to the value of R10 000. We cannot wait to see all the photographs of runners having fun. Enjoy the Friday 5K Solo Run Series with us.”
“It’s easier to keep fit if you’re having fun,” says PUMA Marketing Director Brett Bellinger. “The Friday 5K Solo Run Series powered by PUMA is a great way to stay active and engaged with the running community. We will definitely be participating and challenge all SA runners (and walkers) to do the same.”

Did you know? Launched in 2020 the PUMA x FIRST MILE collection consists of shoes and apparel made from recycled yarn that is manufactured from plastic bottles collected in the First Mile network. The First Mile is a people-focused network that strengthens micro-economies in Taiwan, Honduras, and Haiti by collecting plastic bottles to create sustainable jobs and reduce pollution. The bottles are then sorted, cleaned, shredded, and turned into yarn, which is later used to create products with purpose that truly empower from the first mile forward.
