South African women continue to demonstrate their courage despite the challenges thrown up by the global pandemic and the limitations imposed on them during this time. 

The 2021 SPAR Virtual Challenge will pay homage to the strength of every woman that refuses to be limited by their circumstances. This year’s virtual race encourages women to put on their running shoes and take to the streets in defiance of the physical or mental restraints that may exist in their lives. 

While they can participate in the race at their own pace and from any location, they can do it knowing that they are joining a larger community of women that take on the challenge to #LiveLimitless.

The SPAR Women’s Challenge continues to bring women from all walks of life together, albeit in a virtual format, whether they run, walk or jog. 

The virtual challenge has attracted some of the country’s biggest personalities and will see the likes of Philicity Reeken and Lucille Slade take part. 

Actress, radio host and presenter Reeken said the race promoted a sense of camaraderie among women and allowed them to take the steering wheel when they may not feel in control. 

“SPAR has always been about the support and the passion behind supporting women, young girls, their health and fitness,” said the SPAR Women’s Challenge ambassador.

Rising music star Lucille Slade, a fervent support of the SPAR Women’s Virtual Challenge, highlights how the race promotes good health and fitness, which has been thrown into sharp relief during the pandemic. 

“During the pandemic, it’s extremely important for us to exercise, to get our heart rate up, the more exercise we do we are placed in a better position to fight off not just illness but also get ourselves in a better mood,” said Slade.

Each 2021 SPAR Women’s Virtual Challenge participant will receive a virtual race pack that includes an official virtual challenge t-shirt, access to the My Virtual Challenge digital magazine, a face buff, and a medal.
