About the SPAR Women’s Challenge jozi
The Johannesburg leg of the SPAR Women’s Challenge series is an annual race offering women of all shapes, sizes and fitness levels the opportunity to take part in a 5km or 10km race. The Jozi SPAR Women’s Challenge is constantly growing with thousands of new participants joining in every year.
In 2017 the race was moved from Wanderers Stadium, where it has been held since 2014, to Marks Park Sports Club in Emmarentia to accommodate the growing number of entries and the thousands of spectators who attend in support of the event.
The Johannesburg SPAR Women’s Challenge race is a key part of the SPAR Grand Prix series – the only competition of its kind in South African road running. The Grand Prix series allows the country’s most outstanding female runners to score points across six SPAR Women’s Challenge 10km races and be eligible for cash prizes and other rewards.

2023 THEME
After showing just how gloriously we can rise up, stand up and overcome last year, this year the SPAR Women’s Challenge Jozi invites you to find your reason #4Smiles. It doesn’t matter if you have a gap between your teeth or a slightly crooked grin we want to let you know that your smile is beautiful. We encourage you to look around you and find the big, and small, things in your life that make you smile. And when you find your smile, share it and be the infectious smile in someone else’s world. Spreading our smiles is definitely a pandemic we would love to see take over!
For the first time in three years we are able to get together, celebrate life and see each one of your beautiful smiles, so join us as we find and celebrate all the amazing reasons we have to smile this year! #4Smile
