The road to glory at the Absa RUN YOUR CITY DURBAN 10Kwill carry an extra surge of adrenaline this July, with one runner set to trade pounding pavement for polished pedals in a brand-new Chery vehicle valued at R279 900.
Like a finishing sprint powered by tailwind, the incentive adds fresh pace to an event already humming with coastal energy. Since partnering with the series in 2022, Chery South Africa has handed over eighteen vehicles, turning ordinary race days into life-changing finishes.
“July is Durban’s time to shine on the road and to win big,” says Michael Meyer. “We are excited to launch the Durban leg of the Absa RUN YOUR CITY Series, offering runners the chance to experience road running at its very best, whether they are elite competitors or social runners. One of the standout moments of the day will once again be the opportunity for one lucky participant to drive away in a brand-new Chery vehicle.”
The race unfolds along Durban’s golden coastline, where the rhythm of footsteps echoes like rolling waves and every kilometre feels like a chapter in a shared story of endurance. From the gun on Masabalala Yengwa Avenue to the final push at Sunkist Lawns, runners will chase personal bests and the possibility of a life-changing reward.
Meyer believes the prize deepens the race’s heartbeat.
“Our valued partnership with Chery South Africa continues to bring excitement and meaningful rewards to the series, enhancing the experience for every runner on race day. Prizes of this nature not only elevate the event but also reflect our ongoing commitment to inspiring active lifestyles and creating memorable moments for both participants and their supporters.”
For Tony Liu, the synergy is clear.
“We are proud to once again celebrate the spirit of Durban’s running community. Rewarding one lucky participant with a Chery vehicle allows us to honour the commitment and passion of runners while embracing the energy of this remarkable city.
Durban’s coastal lifestyle and vibrant culture align strongly with the versatility of our vehicles, and we are honoured to support an event that continues to unite people through health, achievement, and community connection. We look forward to continuing to grow our Chery South Africa family.”
To be in the running, participants must enter, collect their race number, start, and finish the 10km journey. In a race where every stride counts, one finish could shift gears from effort to extraordinary.
