SPAR Women's Challenge Jozi
Sunday, 4 October 2026
Join the SPAR Women’s Challenge Jozi in a celebration of women, strength, and unity. Choose the 10km Licenced race or the 5km Run/Walk and move for women, community, and local causes.

#CelebrateHer
SPAR Cares’s drive towards women empowerment began with #iRise, where we recognised women’s strength, resilience, and determination.
In #2023Thrive we celebrated women’s ability to flourish despite life’s challenges, and, #CelebrateHer is the natural progression of our journey.
#CelebrateHer honours the strength, spirit, and stories of women everywhere. It’s the laughter shared in unity, the pride behind every tear, and the warmth that grows when communities stand together. It’s a tribute to every woman’s courage, compassion, ambition, and impact. When she steps forward, she carries her own story – and the stories of those who came before and beside her.
This movement reflects our commitment to uplifting women through wellness, inclusion, and shared value. We are intentional about creating spaces for joy, recognition, and appreciation – inspiring South Africans to celebrate the women in our lives and communities.
For the runners with their eyes on the prize — literally. View the regional-wide prize money details before race day.

This year, our SPAR Women’s Challenge comes with an extra reason to enter. Hyundai is sponsoring five brand-new Hyundai Exter vehicles, with one lucky winner drawn at each of our five key provincial races.
