Cape Town Mayor, Geordin Hill-Lewis<\/strong>, is calling on all Capetonians to lace up their running shoes and join him at the start line of the Absa RUN YOUR CITY <\/strong>CAPE TOWN 10K<\/strong> on Sunday, 11 May 2025<\/strong>, as the Mother City prepares to celebrate the 10th anniversary<\/strong> of this iconic road running event.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Absa RUN YOUR CITY CAPE TOWN 10K is a premier mass participation road running event that showcases the vibrant spirit, culture, and scenic beauty of Cape Town. It forms part of the Absa RUN YOUR CITY SERIES, a nationally acclaimed series consisting of five mass participation 10km road races hosted across South Africa.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Absa RUN YOUR CITY CAPE TOWN 10K has had such a positive influence on our city – from showcasing Cape Town\u2019s vibrant spirit and scenic beauty to uniting communities through the shared joy of running,\u201d says\u00a0 Cape Town Mayor, Geordin Hill-Lewis<\/em>. <\/strong>\u201cI\u2019m incredibly excited to be on the start line this year, not necessarily out front with the elites, but right in the middle of the action with the thousands of everyday runners – because that\u2019s where all the fun is!\u201d<\/p>\n

Open to runners of all fitness levels, the 10-kilometre route takes participants through iconic city landmarks and diverse neighbourhoods, combining elite athletic performance with community celebration. Known for its electric atmosphere, live entertainment, and world-class organisation, the Absa RUN YOUR CITY CAPE TOWN 10K is one of South Africa\u2019s most exciting and accessible road races.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI invite all Capetonians to lace up their running shoes and join me as we celebrate our incredible city, its amazing people, and the 10th anniversary of this iconic event,\u201d adds Cape Town Mayor. \u201cWith its unique blend of fitness, fun, and community spirit, what better way to celebrate a 10-year milestone than by running side by side through the vibrant streets of Cape Town?”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s truly amazing to welcome Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis to the start line of the Absa RUN YOUR CITY CAPE TOWN 10K in 2025,\u201d says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports and Founder of the Absa RUN YOUR CITY SERIES<\/em><\/strong>. \u201c<\/em>Having the Mayor take part in the event alongside thousands of runners is incredibly meaningful to us, as it highlights the spirit of unity and celebration that defines this race. Over the past ten years, we\u2019ve built a fantastic relationship with the City of Cape Town, and without their unwavering support, this event would not have grown into the iconic celebration of sport, culture, and community that it is today.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The city has played a vital role in helping us shape a world-class experience for both elite athletes and everyday runners, and we are immensely grateful. To have the Cape Town Mayor experience the event from the same perspective as thousands of Capetonians is a powerful reminder of what the Absa RUN YOUR CITY CAPE TOWN 10K is all about – bringing people together, celebrating our beautiful city, and creating memories that last a lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n
