Calling all runners! Now’s your chance to turn your miles into smiles by taking on the Absa Run Your City (RYC) Series’ latest Strava challenge, the Run for a Cause challenge on Saturday 5 March 2022!
“We are excited to give the RYC Community the opportunity to put their love for running to good use by taking on the Absa RYC’s Run for a Cause challenge,” says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports and founder of the Absa RYC Series. “SA’s charities have been hard hit by the pandemic. These charities will welcome any form of support, be it monetary product donations or time offered. When taking on the Run for a Cause challenge on Strava, runners nationwide can either support one of the RYC charities or a charity of their choice. Taking place on Saturday 5 March between 05:00 and 23:00, runners can choose their own distance, location and route. Remember to capture and share your activities, routes, photos and dedicated cause to the RYC Series Club Page on Strava. Don’t forget to include #RunYourCity #RunForACause #RunPuma. A pair of magnificent PUMA NITRO running shoes is up for grabs.”
