Nare is only the third athlete after Rene Kalmer and Irvette van Zyl to score a hat-trick of SPAR Grand Prix wins. After finishing runner-up in the first five races this year, she finally collected her first-ever win in a SPAR Grand Prix race in Jozi when Nare gave the race a miss. For the first time, the top five South African athletes are being rewarded financially over and above their Grand Prix winnings. “I want to encourage young South African athletes to use the SPAR Grand Prix series as their backbone for speed and endurance. “We at SPAR are very proud to sponsor the SPAR Grand Prix, which after 15 years is firmly established as arguably the world’s leading road running series for women,” said SPAR National Sponsorship and Events Manager, Charlene Subbarayan.
