It\u00b4s a fun activity that allows runners and walkers from all corners of Mozambique to unite (virtually) in a spirit of camaraderie, pride and celebration. Besides being an entertaining time, it also underlines the importance of regular exercise and healthy habits for the global health. This has gained new dimension through the pandemic. We encourage everyone to run or walk on a beautiful day at their own pace and time in their favourite spot,\u201d says Peter Blenkinsop, Administrator Executive of FNB Mo\u00e7ambique.<\/p>\n<p>For Eneas Comiche, President of Maputo City Council, &#8220;the 3rd edition of the FNB MAPUTO 10K Virtual Run marked one of the highest moments of the celebration of the 134th anniversary of this beautiful city of Acacias and Jacarandas, firstly because it attracted a large number of citizens of all ages and social backgrounds. Secondly, because it promoted interest in physical activity and the healthy and peaceful competition that is inherent in sport and thirdly, because this race draws the attention of the citizens to the benefits of physical activity in the prevention, reduction and containment of diseases, both of the physical and emotional forum. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMozambicans welcomed the 2021 FNB MAPUTO 10K Virtual Run with open arms and we are extremely proud to have helped organize this exciting event,\u201d says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports.\u00a0 \u201cRunners have missed the \u2018race day\u2019 jitters. Going by the online discussions, it was clear that the entrants were excited to have something to look forward to. We would like to thank each and every entrant for adding to the experience and for adhering to the legal Government Regulations for exercise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>FNB MAPUTO 10K Virtual Run finishers can visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.maputo10k.com\">www.maputo10k.com<\/a> to view the overall final results and\/or download their digital finisher\u2019s certificate and\/or digital medal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2021 Maputo Day celebrations were taken to the next level on Wednesday 10 November with thousands of runners (and walkers) lacing up their takkies in preparation for the second annual FNB Maputo 10K Virtual Run.
