This week SuperSport Park will be a hive of activity with the hustle and bustle of race staff preparing for the arrival of the 25 000 participants together vendors, volunteers, additional staff, entertainment, print and broadcast media and thousands of spectators.
All of the SPAR Grand Prix series top runners will be there competing for first place in the second last leg of the series and the chance to move up the ranks in the Grand Prix leader board – with the stakes higher than ever this year as international runners are now eligible to earn points! Several of the runners currently ranking at the top of the leader board will be there to race to first place in the hopes of accumulating more Grand Prix points.
Although not everyone can keep up with the top ten runners, everyone who crosses the finish line will receive a medal as a souvenir of their achievement in finishing the race – courtesy of SPAR and the race sponsors. All the ladies taking part will also be looking forward to receiving one of the legendary SPAR goodie bags. This year’s bags will definitely be a treat having been packed with more goodies than ever.
