Title sponsor Absa and event organisers Stillwater Sports have added Gqeberha and Tshwane as host cities to the iconic and award-winning Absa RUN YOUR CITY Series, growing the series from three to five mass participation events in 2023.
After a fantastic 2022 season, which saw the back to near capacity attendance, the two new cities will add a fresh and exciting experience for runners competing in those events.
“We are thrilled to welcome Gqeberha and Tshwane as host cities of the Absa RUN YOUR CITY Series in 2023,” says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports and Founder of the Absa RUN YOUR CITY Series.
“Growing the series from three to five events is no small feat and would not have been possible without the support of our title sponsor, Absa, which has been a driving force since we welcomed them onboard in 2021, and other key sponsors such as PUMA, DHL and Chery.”
Meyer also cites the relationships that the company has with each host city as another cricitcal success factor.
“Each city has contributed immensely to the success of the Cape Town, Durban and Joburg events, and ultimately the series. We are excited to work with Gqeberha and Tshwane, to further grow the status of the series.”
Each mass participation road race will aim to highlight city landmarks, include magnificent views and feature lively performances from some of the host city’s leading performing arts groups.
“We can’t wait to welcome thousands of runners from across South Africa as well as elite athletes from around the world to the Absa RUN YOUR CITY Series in 2023,” concludes Meyer.
Entries for all five events will open on Monday 5 December 2022. Visit www.runyourcityseries.com for more info or to enter.
