“The FNB Joburg 10K CITYRUN is a ‘proudly South African, proudly Joburg’ must do mass participation road race,” says Michael Meyer, Managing Director Stillwater Sports. “We are excited to celebrate the event’s 4th anniversary in 2019 and are equally excited to be able to award local and international athletes for their support and hard work, by offering a deserving prize purse of R250 000. This prize purse includes a whopping total of R30 000 that will go to both the open men’s and women’s winners on the day.”
“Prize money has been allocated to the top 10 finishers in the Open Category, with the runner- up in the Open Men’s and Women’s races taking home R17 000 each and the final spot on the podium securing R13 000,” continues Meyer. “Juniors, Veterans, Masters, Grand Master as well as the 70+ age groupers will earn prize money from 1st to 3rd place. We are thankful for the support received from our valued sponsors. Without them this prize purse would not be possible. We look forward to witnessing exciting racing and impressive achievements, while celebrating our heritage on 24 September.”
