Final Friday 5K Solo Run set to close off on a high note
DHL asked all runners to donate shoes that are no longer being used to someone in need.
Friday 18 September will see action of the Friday 5K Solo Run Series powered by Puma reach a climax with the final run of the series.
This is the fifth Friday 5K Solo Run to take place this year and forms part of an exciting campaign that builds up to the FNB RYCS Heritage Day Virtual Run on Thursday, 24 September.
RYCS participants will receive their race packs in a DHL box, which is perfectly sized to take a pair of their ‘pre-loved’ running shoes.
DHL asked all runners to donate shoes that are no longer being used to someone in need.
Runners will drop their DHL box packed with a pair of their pre-loved running shoes at any DHL outlet before 5 October 2020 and DHL will deliver them to charities associated with the race.
“The Friday 5K Solo Run Series has been the source of a lot of excitement. We love that Fridays have become synonymous with runners completing 5km runs while sporting previous year’s turquoise RYCS event T-shirts,” said Dezroy Poole, Director of Stillwater Sports.
Sponsor prizes include a pair of stylish PUMA UltraRide Running Shoes to the value of R2 000, a case of Coca-Cola, Powerade/ Powerade Zero and Bonaqua Water; a Covim Coffee Machine distributed by Rialto Foods, valued at R3 500; and an ‘Experience Cape Town Package’ worth over R1 000 compliments of The President Hotel Cape Town.
As it is the final run, the winner of the grand prize, which consists of an impressive Puma x First Mile Hamper and a pair of PUMA Ultraride Running Shoes to the value of R10 000 will be announced.
