The Vitality Running World Cup 2020 is to be postponed
The Vitality Running World Cup has been postponed until further notice in light of the stricter COVID-19 measures implemented by governments worldwide.
As the outbreak of COVID-19 continues to spread across the world, stricter measures by governments and health authorities have been implemented to slow the spread. To ensure that we play our part and help flatten the curve, we have decided to postpone the Vitality Running World Cup until further notice.
While we understand that this may be disappointing news for many of you, the health and wellbeing of everyone taking part is our number one priority. Here's a look at South Africa’s key moments during the tournament:

- Over 63 196 personalised Vitality Running World Cup goals achieved
- Over 1 000 000 km run during the tournament
