If you’ve entered one of the remaining Absa Run Your City 10 km races then you will also have a chance to test out some of PUMA’s latest running shoes. The company has introduced a NITRO VAN to enable runners to engage with the brand’s range of NITRO running shoes at the Absa Run Your City races and at a series of 5 km warm-ups.

The NITRO VAN, which houses about 200 pairs of running shoes, having been unveiled at the Gqeberha 10 km last Sunday and will also attend future Absa Run Your City races in Cape Town (12 May), Durban (7 July), Tshwane (25 August) and Johannesburg (24 September), as well as at PUMA NITRO RUNS.

The PUMA NITRO RUNS, which take place in the lead up to the Absa Run Your City series races, provide a platform for runners and walkers to test out PUMA’s latest range, which includes the Magnify (review), Liberate, Velocity (review), Deviate (review) and Fast-R2 NITRO running shoes.

Moreover, PUMA’s dedicated technical team will be on-site, offering guidance to ensure every participant identifies the shoe that aligns with their unique running style and requirements. Participants in these fun 5km run/walks can also win prizes including a pair of PUMA Velocity NITRO 3 running shoes.

The NITRO VAN is further set to facilitate engagement with PUMA retail partners across the country.
