Semenya to run in Spar Women's challenge Tshwane

Olympic gold medallist Caster Semenya will be making history when she lines up for the start of the SPAR Women’s Challenge Tshwane on 3 August. 

The iconic athlete, long a supporter of the race, will be participating in the 10km event at SuperSport Park in Centurion.

Semenya’s involvement in the SPAR Women’s Challenge Tshwane is a dream come true for race organisers.

A familiar face at the event, cheering on athletes and inspiring young talent, Semenya has always been a staunch supporter of the race.

Many of her junior and senior athletes have gone on to achieve great success, competing in the prestigious SPAR Grand Prix Series.

“We are absolutely thrilled to have Caster join us as a participant this year,” said Retha Ingenbleek, SPAR Women’s Challenge Tshwane Race Organiser.

“Her presence will undoubtedly inspire countless women and girls to lace up their running shoes and take on the challenge. She is a true champion and a role model for all.”

Semenya expressed her excitement about participating in the race: “I’ve always admired the SPAR Women’s Challenge for its dedication to empowering women through sport. This is a special moment for me, and I can’t wait to experience the race as a participant. I hope to inspire others to believe in themselves and achieve their goals.”

The SPAR Women’s Challenge Tshwane is more than just a race; it’s a celebration of women’s strength, resilience, and determination.
