Maritzburg SPAR Women's Race entries available
1500 places still open for manual entries
Days away from this year’s running of the SPAR Women’s 10/5km Race in Pietermaritzburg, the list of confirmed entries is hotting up.

Defending champion, Poppy Mlambo is hoping to beat her time of 35.38 that she ran last year. Mlambo has been crowned champion three times in the last four years, missing out in 2011 due to injury. KwaZulu Natal’s Jenna Challenor stepped up that year, doing her province proud claiming victory. Challenor will be taking to the roads this Sunday after coming fifth in Pretoria’s SPAR Women’s 10km race on last Saturday.

Olympic marathon runner, Tanith Maxwell joins the elite runners after her run in Moscow at the 2013 ISAF World Championships. Running personality, Grace De Oliveira has also confirmed her entry and will lead the charge in her age group. Local young running sensation, Klara Hartmann, together with her younger sister, Natascha will be leading the junior categories.

The new course promises to be more spacious and has no cross-overs between the 2 distances. With the prize money sitting at a respectable R8,000 for first place in the Open category, the race looks to be highly competitive.

While online entries have now closed, there are still 1500 places for manual entries which will be taken at The Oval Cricket Ground on Friday 6 September from 10:00am to 05:00pm and Saturday 7 September from 10:00am to 03:00pm. No entries will be taken on race day.
