2016 Miss Benoni is a Spartan
With more than 130 races around the world annually, there are three core races, with each escalating in distance, obstacle count and challenge level.
Benoni resident and Miss Benoni 2016 Victoria Welthagen competed on November 23 in the Spartan Stadion races at Loftus stadium in Pretoria and placed first in the women’s 18-24 age category.
The Spartan race is an international obstacle race.
With more than 130 races around the world annually, there are three core races, with each escalating in distance, obstacle count and challenge level.
These include the Spartan Sprint (5km/20 obstacles), the Spartan Super (10km/25 obstacles) and Spartan Beast (half-marathon/30 obstacles).
Courses are riddled with obstacles, such as mud, barbed wire, walls, rope and fire.

A quote Victoria has always lived by is, “If you can dream it you can do it.”
“There are no words that can describe how happy I was.
“I have been training so hard.
“After competing in the sport for three years now I’m so happy to finally bring home a win.”
Victoria added that if you challenge yourself and complete all three, you can become part of the Trifecta tribe.
Unique Trifecta Medal (1/3 earned each race) travel to three great locations and meet people from all over, qualify for the Trifecta World Championships in Sparta, Greece, add their name to the annual Trifecta blanket and appear in the Trifecta rankings, where they can see where they stand worldwide.
