Exclusive for women athletes, the annual Spar Women’s Challenge race has open entries for those interested in registering ahead of the event scheduled to take place in August.
One of this year’s events is set to be held on 2 August at SuperSport Park, Centurion, starting at 14:00.

The theme for this year is #Twenty20Thrive, encouraging women across all walks of life to embrace their journey of growth and well-being. Building on decades of success, the race continues its commitment to making a tangible difference in the community.

The launch in August will be marked by a significant R60 000

charity donation to various organisations dedicated to women’s empowerment.

“For 28 years, the Spar Women’s Challenge Tshwane has been more than just a race; it is a movement that champions women, fosters community spirit, and inspires holistic well-being,” said Ralph Rajagopaul, divisional marketing director of Spar in North Rand and Botswana.

He said the retailer’s continued involvement stemmed from a deep-rooted belief in the power of women and the profound impact a united community can have.

“This year, with our #Twenty20Thrive theme, we aim to encourage every participant to embrace their journey towards empowerment and health.”

Participants will receive a new and improved moisture-management T-shirt and the exclusive My Tshwane Challenge magazine, packed with inspiring content.

Adding to the excitement, one lucky participant will drive away in a brand-new Hyundai Exter.

Entries are open and are limited to 17 000 participants. Prospective runners and walkers are encouraged to secure their spot.

Participants can enter online at sparwomenschallenge.co.za/tshwane, through the SPAR2U App, or by visiting selected Spar stores. A full list is available on sparwomenschallenge.co.za/tshwane-list-of-stores, along with details on the entry fees.
