The PUMA School of Speed’s 2020 talent search campaign will culminate at the Bestmed TuksAthletics Stadium (Pretoria) on Saturday 29 February 2020 at the much anticipated PUMA School of Speed #5.
Headed by Usain Bolt, the PUMA School of Speed is a national series of five track and field meets that was launched in 2016 with the goal of identifying exceptional young South African athletes who believe that their future is #ForeverFaster.
“As part of our 5th year celebration, the 2020 PUMA School of Speed travelled to Paarl, Johannesburg, Potchefstroom and Mbombela between January and February,” says Michael Meyer, Managing Director Stillwater Sports. “Each meet has been the source of nail-biting performances with junior track and field stars proving that their future is #ForeverFaster. We have no doubt that the fifth and final meet at the Bestmed TuksAthletics Stadium will be one for the records.”
“The 2020 PUMA School of Speed Series has treated us to exciting competition, good sportsmanship and great results,” says PUMA Marketing Director Brett Bellinger. “We cannot wait to close off a successful season in Pretoria after which we will welcome five #FutureStars to the PUMA Squad for the duration of 2021.”
A real crowd pleaser, spectators, families and friends are invited to enjoy a day filled with track and field excitement at the PUMA School of Speed #5.
