Get ready to lace up and level up! The SPAR Women’s 10/5km Challenge is a high-energy series of 10km and 5km run/walk events across southern Africa—whether you’re here to race, jog, or just enjoy the vibe, there’s a place for you!

But wait, there’s more… The SPAR Grand Prix Series takes things up a notch! Held in Cape Town, Durban, Tshwane, Gqeberha, and Jozi, this elite 10km road race sees top athletes battle it out for serious prize money, points, and bragging rights in five age groups—culminating in a whopping R1.68 million prize purse!

And for our local legends? There’s a special South African-only showdown, where the top 5 homegrown speedsters will claim their share of an extra R185,000!

Each race is independently managed under ASA and Provincial Athletic Federation regulations, making every event as unique as the city it’s hosted in! Want the inside scoop? You’re in the right place—everything you need is right here on this website.

In the SPAR Grand Prix, every step counts—literally! Elite runners rack up points in each race, with the top 20 finishers scoring big. The winner grabs 20 points, while the 20th finisher sneaks in with 1 point—because hey, every point gets you closer to glory!

The more races you run, the better your shot at the top spot (schedule permitting, of course—we see you, globe-trotting athletes!). Ready to chase those points and podiums? Let’s GO!

We’re thrilled to announce that participants in the timed 10km SPAR Women’s Challenge Cape Town can now earn Discovery Vitality points! That’s right — not only will you be thriving on the track, but your healthy lifestyle will now be officially rewarded.
