Feel free to bring your little one in a pram to join in the fun! Just remember to start at the back to keep everyone safe and avoid any tripping.

Unfortunately, you can’t bring your own food, but don’t worry! We’ve got a great selection of food vendors at the venue to keep you satisfied.

Sorry, but outside food isn’t allowed. However, there will be plenty of delicious options from food vendors at the venue!

If your little one can run on their own then they will need to pay an entrance fee, only children in prams can participate for free.

All participants will have 120 minutes to cross the finish line.

Once you have your Challenge pack (whether purchased in-store or via the SPAR2U app), remember to complete your registration. You can do this by scanning the unique QR code on your Challenge race number, which is included in your Challenge entry pack. 

We know life can be unpredictable, but once you’ve entered the SPAR Women’s Challenge Jozi 5km fun run or 10km Challenge, your entry is final. In line with standard running industry practice, all entry fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. This is clearly noted during registration, where you’ll be asked to confirm your agreement.

For everyone’s safety and fairness, race numbers can’t be passed on to someone else—doing so could lead to disqualification for both you and the runner using your number.

Unfortunately, this policy applies in all situations, including injuries, family emergencies, or unexpected life events. We truly appreciate your understanding as we strive to keep the Challenge safe, fair, and joyful for everyone involved.

The 5km fun run starts on the corner of Hill and Umgeni Roads. 

The 10km starts on the corner of Hill and Buffalo Roads.
