Celebrating its 3rd anniversary on Sunday 13 October 2019, the FNB Durban 10K CITYSURFRUN will boast a whopping prize purse of R250 000.
The FNB Durban 10K CITYSURFRUN is the last of three mass participation road running events that make up the FNB Run Your City Series. The 2019 series kicked off in Cape Town in May with the 5th annual FNB Cape Town 12 ONERUN. Joburg will host the 4th annual FNB Joburg 10K CITYRUN on Sunday, 24 September 2019 (National Heritage Day), after which Durban will have its turn to shine.
“There has been no lack in excitement in the FNB Durban 10K CITYSURFRUN elite race with the event delivering nail-biting performances in 2017 and 2018,” says Michael Meyer, Managing Director Stillwater Sports. “We’re excited to continue the action in 2019 and will be offering a R250 000 prize purse, both as motivation and as a reward, to local and international contenders. Prize money has been allocated to the top 10 finishers in the Open Category with the Open Men’s and Women’s winners taking home an impressive total of R30 000, the runners-up getting R17 000 and the final spot on the podium securing R13 000.”
“Juniors, Veterans, Masters, Grand Master as well as the 70+ age groupers will also earn prize money from 1st to 3rd place. The prize purse was made possible through the valued support of our sponsors,” continues Meyer. “Although the FNB Durban 10K CITYSURFRUN features an elite racing element, the event grants all entrants (lifestyle runners included) the unique opportunity to explore their city on foot. Runners (and walkers) can look forward to an action packed 10km journey that highlights important landmarks and features exciting live entertainment compliments of Durban’s leading performing arts groups. We cannot wait to see the action unfold on event day.”
