The SPAR Women’s Virtual Challenge is making the circle bigger in 2022, partnering with parkrun South African to allow participants to attend physical events.
The Virtual Challenge was launched in 2020 amid the Covid-19 pandemic. This is allowing South Africans of all walks of life to participate in the event in solidarity during a time of uncertainty and strife.
The popular event will return for a third instalment, albeit with fewer restrictions, allowing entrants to come together wherever they are to run, jog, walk, skip or even dance the challenge at their own pace, choosing their route and completing their challenge at any time between 06:00 and 18:00
The partnership with parkrun South Africa provides SPAR Women’s Virtual Challenge participants with a safe space to come together as a community on September 3 at any of the 176 venues around the country.
parkrun registration is once off, while participants should remember to bring their parkrun barcode to the venue to ensure their results are registered. Most parkruns in South Africa start at 08:00, but each venue may be different, so it is worth checking the website of the specific event for their starting time.
Online entries are open for the SPAR Women’s Virtual Challenge 2022. Entry to the SPAR Women’s Virtual Challenge is R120, and as part of the entry fee, every participant will receive a virtual challenge pack. The pack includes an official virtual challenge t-shirt, access to the My Virtual Challenge digital magazine, a face buff and a medal.
