The PUMA School of Speed Series welcomes individual athletes and/ or schools who believe that their future is forever faster.
The action of the 2021 PUMA School of Speed Series will culminate at Ruimsig Stadium in Roodepoort this coming Saturday, November 13.
Headed by the World’s Fastest Man, Usain Bolt, the PUMA School of Speed Series was launched in 2016 with the goal of identifying exceptional young South African athletes who believe that their future is forever faster.
“We can’t wait to close off the 2021 Series on a high note this coming weekend at the PUMA School of Speed #3.
“The first two events were exceptionally well supported by athletes and spectators, albeit in a limited capacity.
“Going by the performances that we’ve seen to date the future of track and field in South Africa looks great.
“We are excited to see what the athletes have in store for us this coming weekend at Ruimsig,” said PUMA Marketing Director Brett Bellinger.
The PUMA School of Speed Meets are endorsed by athletics federations, and finishing times will count as official qualification for provincial and national championships.
