The RUN YOUR CITY (RYC) Series together with PUMA is challenging runners from across South Africa to prove that they are #ForeverFaster <\/strong>by giving their all during the PUMA Beat Bolt Sprint <\/strong>section of the JOBURG 10K CITYRUN Virtual Edition that will take place on Friday 24 September 2021 (National Heritage Day).<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you ask any RYC Series supporter to list the iconic elements of the JOBURG 10K CITYRUN, the DURBAN 10K CITYRUN and the CAPE TOWN 12K CITYRUN, the PUMA Beat Bolt Sprint is guaranteed to be in the top three responses,\u201d says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports and Founder of the RYC Series.\u00a0 \u201cWe are therefore very happy to confirm that the PUMA Beat Bolt Sprint will make up the final 100m of the JOBURG 10K CITYRUN Virtual Edition \u2018Virtual Route\u2019.\u00a0 The RYC App, that will be available to download from the Google Play and App\u00a0Store<\/a> closer to the event date, will inform runners when they are about to enter the final 100m mark and will encourage runners to run as fast as they can over the final 100m distance.\u00a0 Once the 100m sprint is completed (and the 10km mark has been reached) the RYC App will stop recording and runners will get to view their race splits and finish time.\u00a0 We\u2019d like to challenge all entrants to prove that they have what it takes to #BeatBolt at the PUMA Beat Bolt Sprint.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe love the idea of a virtual PUMA \u2018Beat Bolt\u2019 Sprint,\u201d says <\/strong>PUMA Marketing Director Brett Bellinger.\u00a0 \u201cNot only does it add excitement to a 10km run, but it also encourages runners to get out of their comfort zones, gets their heart rates pumping and ultimately pushes all runners to finish strong.\u00a0 Remember it is a sprint and you will be going up against Bolt.\u00a0 So be sure to reserve some energy for the final 100m.\u00a0 The male and female runner with the fastest time will each take home a R10\u00a0000 PUMA Retail Shopping Experience.\u00a0 There are also additional prizes for runners who complete the sprint in under 15, 20 and 25 seconds.\u00a0 Are you ready to #BeatBolt?\u201d<\/p>\n
