Adding to the buzz of these iconic events, two lucky participants (one per event) will drive away in a stylish Chery Tiggo 4 Pro LiT, valued from R269,900!
“We are excited to return to the beautiful city of Tshwane in August and the bustling streets of Johannesburg in September,” says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports and Series Founder. “We have fantastic news for all entrants – once again, Chery South Africa, in partnership with the Absa RUN YOUR CITY SERIES, will be giving away a stylish Chery Tiggo 4 Pro LiT vehicle, valued from R269,900, at both the Tshwane and Joburg events! If you participate in both races, you’ll double your chances of winning this incredible prize.”
To stand a chance to win, runners must follow three simple steps: register for the event and pay the entry fee, collect their race number during the designated race pack collection period, and be at the start line on event day to complete the 10km route. The winner will only be eligible to claim the Chery Tiggo 4 Pro LiT prize after successfully finishing the race.
In closing, Meyer adds: “The Chery Tiggo 4 Pro LiT giveaway has become a true highlight of the Absa RUN YOUR CITY SERIES, and we appreciate Chery’s continued commitment to enhancing the race day experience for our runners.”
