To say that we are excited to be back in the City of Gold would be an understatement. The <strong>5K PUMA NITRO Demo Run <\/strong>is the perfect opportunity to complete a fun 5km run with like-minded individuals. The goal is to get Jozi runners excited and ready for the 2022 Absa RUN YOUR CITY JOBURG 10K. What makes the <strong>5K PUMA NITRO Demo Run <\/strong>extra special is that runners get the unique opportunity to put PUMA\u2019s newest range of PUMA NITRO running shoes to the test. PUMA\u2019s technical team will also be on hand to answer product related questions and offer support.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis will be the second last Demo Run before race day and we would like to invite all runners to join us,\u201d continues Meyer. \u201cThe Demo Run is open to runners of all ages and is free of charge, but you do need to sign up via our social media platforms. Be sure to arrive early to secure your desired pair of PUMA NITRO Running Shoes. Runners can look forward to enjoying the perfect leg-loosener as we build up to one of Jozi\u2019s most iconic 10km mass participation road races.
