Find your wings with participation in this year’s Spar Ladies Race
The 2018 Pretoria SPAR Women’s Challenge is challenging every member of the Pretoria community to #FindYourWingz by becoming a vehicle for change and inspiration and celebrating our community’s heroes.
The Pretoria Leg of the 2018 SPAR Women’s Challenge was official launched at Sun International’s The Maslow Time Square Hotel last week.
This means that entries are now officially open for Pretorians who want to participate in Pretoria’s largest and most colourful road race on August 4.
The Pretoria Leg of the 2018 SPAR Women’s Challenge is the biggest and most popular race in the SPAR Women’s Challenge Grand Prix series. The race attracts a whopping 25 000 runners each year.
This race has grown immensely in popularity over the years and has won both the Rekord Best of Pretoria 2017 award for best race and second place in the Beeld Your Choice awards – just under the Comrades Marathon.
Speaking at launch, SPAR North Rand’s Marketing Director, Jerome Jacobs commented that it is thanks to the on-going support of sponsors and partners that the race has found it wings and has the power to help others find theirs.
The race theme for this year was also unveiled. Just as it has in earlier years the theme holds an important message for every lady taking part in the race and the Pretoria community at large. The 2018 race theme is a call to action to everyone in our community to #FindYourWingz.
This theme is rooted in the belief that every woman finds her wings on a daily basis – whether it is at work, being a good mother, caring for those who cannot care for themselves, defending the defenceless or making a change in the lives of the disadvantaged members of our community.
“At SPAR we believe in helping those who need us to find their wings and thrive. This year we would like to celebrate those who found their wings through giving back and we would like to call on each and every one of you to join us in supporting these heroes in any way we can,” said Jacobs.
According to Jacobs, the call to action of this year’s theme is not only to find your own wings but to help other find theirs.
“Most importantly, we want to celebrate our everyday community heroes who have found their wings by helping others or through remarkable achievements. We want to tell their story and we are calling on everyone to post these stories to the SPAR Women’s Challenge Pretoria Facebook page,” Jacobs concluded.
The 2018 Pretoria SPAR Women’s Challenge takes place at 14:00 on Saturday, 4th August at SuperSport Park in Centurion. As always, the race will offer 25 000 women from all walks of life, and all levels of fitness the opportunity to take part in a 5km or a 10km race.
