Runners unite at Heritage Day virtual run

THE 2020 Heritage Day celebrations got off to an early start with just over 15 000 runners nationwide taking on the much anticipated FNB Run Your City Series (RYCS) Heritage Day Virtual Run on Thursday, 24 September.

Michael Meyer, managing director of Stillwater Sports, said: “Although a traditional mass participation event would always be first prize, the Covid-19 pandemic made this impossible in 2020. Proving that they aren’t afraid of change, our fantastic sponsors welcomed the idea of the virtual run and were excited and eager to play their part.”

He said organisers were thankful to each and every runner who participated. “I am sure we made history on Heritage Day as thousands of runners wearing Run Your City T-shirts nationwide showed true South African camaraderie in completing this exciting version of the event.”
