Put spring in your step by entering the SPAR Women’s Virtual Challenge
People who have been collecting SPAR medals over the years by taking part in the annual SPAR Women’s Challenge series can add 2020 to their collection, because although the event is virtual, the medal will be real and could be a great memento of one of the strangest years the world has known.
Sometimes it feels as if this winter will never end. Although there are signs that spring is in the air, cold fronts have sent temperatures plummeting, and just as we move down to Level 2 in the COVID-19 lockdown, pesky Stage 2 load shedding makes its unwelcome return.
But the winter will eventually come to an end and warmer days will lighten our hearts. In the meantime, you can help to spread a little sunshine by entering the SPAR Women’s Virtual Challenge on September 26, when women will be asked to run, jog or walk a distance of their choice on a route of their choice and then share their experience on social media with the hashtags #BeSunshine #SPARVirtualChallenge.
The closing date for entries is September 4 but get your entry in as soon as possible as entries are coming in thick and fast, with more than 15 000 entries so far.
Great news is that the organisers have added a medal to the goody bag you collect from your designated SPAR from September 14 to September 25, in addition to the free event T-Shirt, lightweight buff and SPAR Virtual Challenge magazine.
So, people who have been collecting SPAR medals over the years by taking part in the annual SPAR Women’s Challenge series can add 2020 to their collection. Although the event is virtual, the medal is real and could be a great memento of one of the strangest years the world has known.
Because of the high number of entries, four more collection points have been added. They are SUPERSPAR Saveways in Mpumalanga, SUPERSPAR Trevenna Monument in the Northern Cape, SPAR Vosloorus in Gauteng and SUPERSPAR Sylvania in the Free State.
Xtraspace depots in Bellville and Airport Industria Park in the Western Cape, Durban Noord Xtraspace depot in KwaZulu Natal and SPAR distribution centre in Perseverance, Eastern Cape.
One of the best things about entering the SPAR Women’s Virtual Challenge is that for every R50 entry fee received, SPAR will donate a food parcel to a victim of gender-based violence.
You can enter online at www.sparvirtualchallenge.co.za. You will be able to nominate your SPAR collection point and your t-shirt size. Put a bit of spring in your step and spread some sunshine.
