Christmas, New Year and Valentine’s Day have come and gone, and the thoughts of many are turning to the road – not driving, but road running.
The SPAR Grand Prix series gets underway on March 30, when thousands of women will take to the streets of Cape Town for the SPAR Women’s 10km Challenge and 5km fun run.
The Cape Town race is the first of the five races making up the SPAR Grand Prix series, in which Africa’s elite and experienced runners compete for valuable points.
The winner of the SPAR Grand Prix will take home R200 000. The runner-up will receive R100 000, and the third placed athlete will win R75 000. This is additional to the substantial prize money for each individual race.
The local woman with the most SPAR Grand Prix points will receive an additional R100 000, the second placed South African R70 000 and the third placed South African R50 000.
