Run anywhere in KZN for SPAR virtual challenge
The nationwide virtual event enables participants to enter the event online and set their own challenge of running (or walking) their own route for their own distance, in their chosen location.
THIS year, the Durban and Pietermaritzburg SPAR Women’s 10/5km Challenge goes virtual as KwaZulu-Natal joins in the national SPAR Women’s Virtual Challenge on Saturday, September 4.
The nationwide virtual event enables participants to enter the event online and set their own challenge of running (or walking) their own route for their own distance, in their chosen location.
The only condition is that they complete their challenge between 6am and 6pm on the day.
“This gives everyone in KZN a chance to take part,” enthuses Max Oliva, MD of SPAR KZN. “Traditionally the challenge is confined geographically to Durban and Pietermaritzburg, which means so many of around KZN are unable to participate. Now the Virtual Challenge means that whether you are in the Berg, the bush, or on the beach or anywhere in between, you can take part.”

SPAR KZN is also offering lucky draw prizes to KZN entrants including three two-night weekend stays at Champagne Sports Resort in the Drakensberg, six vouchers from Asics to purchase a pair of running shoes, and five R2 000 SPAR shopping vouchers to name a few.
An entry fee of only R60 gives participants a race pack containing a T-Shirt, buff, medal, and a digital magazine. In addition, for every paid entry, a pack of sanitary pads will be donated to help keep a girl in school through the SPAR Petals Project.
Online entries close at midnight on Sunday August 15. For more details, visit: www.sparvirtualchallenge.co.za.
