“Durban is going to be spectacular, and we can’t wait to be there,” said Charl Nel, head of communications at Capitec Bank.

Every runner will receive a R200 voucher from Takealot.com for the purchase of The Colour Run powder and merchandise, as well as a R200 voucher from Superbalist to be redeemed against a minimum spend of R250.
