Mike Vacy-Lyle, CEO of FNB Business expressed how excited FNB is to open its entries for the FNB Run Your City Series for the 2018 year. The series comprises of three races namely the FNB Cape Town 12 ONERUN, FNB Joburg 10K CITYRUN and the FNB Durban 10K CITYSURFRUN. The three races encourage families, professional runners, business owners and every other participant from different walks of life to run their city their way.
“What is most exciting about this series is the essence of the race itself; it is more than just running, we are effectively asking South Africans, many of which are our customers, to come out in their numbers to experience their cities in the company of each other. There is something beautiful about that, something very South African about it,” says Vacy-Lyle.
