Children and babies are more than welcome to take part but please stay behind the front runners for their safety. Write your name and cell phone number on their arm in case they get lost in the hustle and bustle. Remember if your little ones would like a goodie bag, they will need their own entry – so pay for their entry for them to experience the goodies with you!

No participant is allowed to sell any products or services. If you are interested in booking a stand for your company, contact Lindi on 083 685 1989 or email lindi@eofe.co.za for prices and bookings.

Please don’t bring your own braais as we will have braai facilities available for everyone at the venue, with fire provided, to keep the men busy while the ladies run. Only plastic bottles will be allowed. Speaking of men, we won’t stop them from doing the Challenge with you but they won’t be eligible for any prizes. We’ll give them a goodie bag though.

You’ve paid your entry fee and collected your Challenge pack from a participating SPAR store, now remember to register by scanning the unique QR code on your Challenge race number, which can be found in your Challenge entry pack. For more information on how to register, check out page 6! 

If you really don’t want to wear your Challenge shirt that we give you, you don’t have to but we would appreciate it if you did as a token of solidarity. We encourage you to decorate your shirt if you feel the urge to be creative (you could even win a prize) but no other specific clothing is required, unless you are trying to win a category prize.

The SPAR Women’s Challenge is aimed at women, who are normally busy in the mornings. We didn’t want them to miss their own Challenge so we moved it up to the afternoons. Lots of water will be available for everyone to prevent dehydration if it ends up getting too hot.

We encourage our ladies to use another form of transport, such as the Gautrain (the venue is only 1km from the Centurion Station) or buses that will be available on the day. Call the AGN office on 011 327 4930/1/2 for bus schedules for the day. Ladies who will be arriving in their own cars will be directed by traffic marshals.

There is no cut off time for the Challenge. We wait for the last runner or walker to cross the finish line before declaring the Challenge over. Prize giving starts at 16:00 on Challenge Day. If you are a lucky winner and win some money, payments will be done the following Thursday.

A clearly marked medical tent with qualified medical staff will be on the field, as well as emergency teams at the water points and the finish line with ambulances standing by to deal with any medical situation or emergency. The route is 100% wheelchair and pram friendly. Contact Christien van der Merwe on 083 458 0337 for more information on medical assistance on Challenge Day.

All results for the 10km will be announced ten days after the Challenge has happened and posted on www.raceresults.co.za. Only the results of the 10km Challenge will be posted as the 5km will not be timed.
