Run Your City this Heritage Day, on September 24, with the FNB Run Your City Series (RYCS) Heritage Day Virtual Run.

“The Heritage Day Virtual Run is an exciting addition to the existing FNB RYCS portfolio of events,” said Michael Meyer, managing director of Stillwater Sports.

“Participants from all walks of life will be able to unite (virtually) in a spirit of camaraderie, pride and celebration. With mass participation events currently suspended in South Africa, we are excited to celebrate National Heritage Day with thousands of runners for the first time ever in a Virtual Sphere,” he said.

“The current circumstances have initiated a new wave of virtual sporting activities that are gaining momentum in South Africa and globally. The Heritage Day Virtual Run is a great initiative that will inspire people to continue participating in all sporting codes.

“It also builds on the spirit of nation building and unity among us all. We are truly proud to be part of this event,” said Bonga Sebesho, head of FNB sponsorships.

“The FNB RYCS has evolved since the inception of the first event in Cape Town in 2015,” said Meyer.

“We are excited to further cement the idea of a series by aligning the Cape Town and Durban event names with that of the Joburg event and ultimately the FNB RYCS as a whole.”

Due to the current state of the Covid-19 pandemic in South Africa, both the 2020 FNB Durban 10K CITYRUN and FNB Joburg 10K CITYRUN events have been cancelled.

The FNB Cape Town 12K CITYRUN was cancelled earlier this year shortly after South Africa entered lockdown.

“We are sad to cancel the Durban and Johannesburg events,” said Meyer.

“Runners that have already entered and paid have three options available to them. Option one is to transfer their entries to the Heritage Day Virtual Run and be part of the nationwide celebration. Option two is to donate the entry fee to one of the official event charities, and option three is to receive a full refund.”

Existing FNB Durban 10K CITYRUN and FNB Joburg 10K CITYRUN entrants will be contacted directly.
