SPAR Women’s Challenge has women run our beautiful community

Described as the most beautiful race in Joburg, the annual Jozi SPAR Women's Challenge proved to be the sort of challenge worth taking on.

Thousands descended onto Marks Park Sports Club for the Johannesburg leg of the SPAR Women’s Challenge series.

Women from all walks of life, and various communities, took part in the annual Jozi SPAR Women’s Challenge and had a blast running or walking through the streets of Emmarentia and Greenside.
