“We loved celebrating National Heritage Day virtually with thousands of runners from across South Africa,” said Michael Meyer, MD of Stillwater Sports and founder of the RUN YOUR CITY Series.
“We were overwhelmed by the support we received not only from everyday runners but also from a large number of SA’s elites, especially the runners from the Boxer Athletics Club.
The elites are hungry for competition, so we were excited to give them something to look forward to. Having these accomplished runners take part in the virtual race and talk about their experience on social media added to the excitement.
“Our team also had a great time taking on the JOBURG 10K CITYRUN Virtual Edition. It was a privilege to unite virtually with thousands of runners from across South Africa in the spirit of camaraderie and pride as we celebrated National Heritage Day by running Joburg together #RunJoburg.”
