Race T-shirts and goodie bags are given to all entrants, and after completing the race, participants receive a breakfast pack

ENTRIES are now open for the Durban SPAR Women’s 10/5km Challenge, one of the most iconic women’s events on KZN’s sporting calendar. Bringing together women from all walks of life, the challenge takes place on Sunday, June 24 with its start in Masabalala Yengwa Avenue just outside the finish venue at the Jonsson Kings Park outer fields.

Now in its 29th year the race continues to appeal to participants of all ages and sporting levels. The 5km fun run/walk offers an opportunity for social runners and walkers to enjoy a relatively flat course, while the 10km, part of the national SPAR Grand Prix series, provides elite runners an opportunity to clock up points and move up the log with the overall cash prize of R185 000 in sight.
