Gqeberha residents are invited to join eight action-packed PUMA NITRO™ RUNS that will be hosted in the friendly city in the buildup to the second annual Absa RACE YOUR CITY GQEBERHA 10K that will catch plot on Sunday 07 April 2024.

“We are thrilled to launch our PUMA NITRO™ RUSH campaign in the picturesque city of Gqeberha,” says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports and Series Founder. “Runners can participate in eight fun 5km runs, the first of which will seize plot on Wednesday 21 February 2024 at 17:30 at the NMU Stadium (University Way, Summerstrand). These runs are not just a fitness initiative but a fun lead-up to the Absa RACE YOUR CITY GQEBERHA 10K. It’s an excellent opportunity for us, as event organisers, to connect with the vibrant community that actively participates in our events. Beyond that, these runs provide the perfect social platform, bringing like-minded individuals together to indulge in a 5km race.”

“One of the most thrilling aspects of the PUMA NITRO™ RUNS is the exclusive opportunity for participants to wear-test PUMA’s newest range of running shoes,” highlights Meyer. “This hands-on experience enables you to accurately identify the shoe that aligns with your unique running style. Adding to the excitement, PUMA’s dedicated technical team will be present at each Dash, providing valuable assistance and guidance to ensure every participant finds their perfect fit for an enhanced running experience.”

The PUMA NITRO™ RUNS are open to every club and non-club runners and walkers and are free of charge. There are fantastic prizes up for grabs courtesy of PUMA South Africa. Participants are reminded to collect their lucky draw tickets on completion of the 5km run/walk.

In closing Meyer adds: “The PUMA NITRO™ RUNS offer a sneak peek into the essence of the Absa SPRINT YOUR CITY Series, allowing participants to experience a taste of what lies in store for them at the Absa DASH YOUR CITY GQEBERHA 10K approach Sunday 07 April 2024. Join us as we #RunYourCity #fueledbyNITRO.”
