With its course leading the athletes over rolling hills with some steep climbs and tiring downhill sections that will test their stamina to the ultimate levels, the SPAR Tuffy 4-in-1 Marathon has become renown as one of the toughest road races in Limpopo, if not the country.

This event is organised by Tzaneen Marathon Club in partnership with SPAR Tzaneen, Aida Properties and Aquelle Mineral Water. The race will start at Lombard Avocado situated at Farm AB 34 on the Old Coach House Road outside Tzaneen.

Athletes will either run the majestic 42.2km race or the 21.2km half marathon. There is also a 10km race and a 5km fun run for the less serious athletes. The 42.2km starts at 06:00 and all the other distances an hour later.

“The amazing atmosphere and the scenic route of this event will be complimented by various food stalls, music and a beer garden”, said Tertius Erasmus, chairperson of Tzaneen Marathon Club. Photos of the entire race day will be available online courtesy of the keen eye of local photographer, Joe Dreyer.

Online entries closed on the 19th of February and all entrants will receive a free Tuffy moisture management T-shirt. All participants will also receive a goody bag, buff, foam peak and uniquely designed Tuffy medal.

The race numbers and T-shirts for all online entries can be collected today (Friday the 11th of March) at Aida Properties, 38 Boundary Street in Tzaneen from 14:00 until 18:00, or at the start of the event from 05:00 to 05:45.

Organisers of the SPAR Tuffy 4-in-1 Marathon advised participants to ensure they arrive as early as possible given that approximately 1 000 athletes are anticipated to compete. For any inquiries people can contact Tertius Erasmus on 071 363 5124 or Wicus van Vuuren on 083 391 0172.
