Global Running Day is on June 2, and the Run Your City (RYC) Series is giving runners the perfect opportunity to celebrate with the launch of the RYC Series Global Running Day 5K challenge on Strava.
“We are excited to give the RYC Series Community the opportunity to celebrate Global Running Day virtually with thousands of runners,” said Michael Meyer, MD of Stillwater Sports and founder of the RYC Series.
“To be part of the challenge, runners must join the RYC Series Running Club on Strava and click on the orange ‘I’m in’ button displayed next to the Global Running Day 5K event listing. It’s as easy as that.
“Entrants can complete a 5K run anywhere and anytime between 5am and 11pm on Wednesday,” said Meyer.
“The run needs to be recorded using a smartphone or smart watch (Garmin, TomTom, SUUNTO, Fitbit, Polar). To stand a chance to win a pair of Puma Nitro running shoes to the value of R4 000, entrants must share their activities, routes and photos to the RYC Series Running Club on Strava by no later than 11pm on Wednesday.
“Include the following three hashtags: #RunYourCity, #RUNPUMA and #GlobalRunningDay. We can’t wait to celebrate Global Running Day with the RYC Series Community.”
Runners can choose their own location and route.
