For the first time since the outbreak of the pandemic, thousands of participants are set to experience the 29th SPAR Women’s Challenge on May 27 the way it was meant to be – live and in person.
“This is what we’ve been waiting for – the anticipation of women gathering in their numbers out and about sharing in the laughter and camaraderie that is synonymous with our race,” said SPAR Eastern Cape advertising manager Roseann Shadrach.
The countdown to the iconic 5km and 10km events for women officially starts on April 7, the first day of the annual SPAR Splash Festival in Nelson Mandela Bay.
With the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality on board for the first time, coupled with the fact that participants will run for a cause, the 2023 edition has been given extra impetus.
Shadrach hoped that running for the cause of autism awareness would push other organisations to follow suit.
“Our goal through supporting these organisations is to make a life-changing difference in the lives of the children and their families, thereby creating forever smiles.”
She expected a bumper edition of the Women’s Challenge as there had been a significant intentional move towards active lifestyles, good health and exercise following Covid.
The SPAR Women’s Challenge will once again incorporate the Grand Prix Series for elite athletes.
