The Johannesburg leg of the SPAR Women’s Challenge gives women of all ages, shapes, and fitness levels the opportunity to lace up and take part in either a 5km or 10km run/walk — no pressure, just purpose.
From first-timers to seasoned participants, this event continues to grow every year, transforming Marks Park Sports Club into a vibrant celebration of strength, community, and empowerment. Since moving from Wanderers Stadium to Marks Park Sports Club in 2017, the event has welcomed thousands of runners, walkers, and supporters who come together to celebrate women.
As a proud part of the SPAR Grand Prix Series, Jozi hosts some of South Africa’s top elite female athletes, all competing for valuable Grand Prix points and prize money. But at its heart, the SPAR Women’s Challenge is about every woman who chooses to show up for herself, embrace the journey, and celebrate her own achievements.
Whether you’re chasing a personal best, walking with friends, or simply soaking up the incredible atmosphere, Jozi is where we come together to #CelebrateHer.
