A beautiful day marked the culmination of the 34th SPAR Women’s 10/5km Challenge of 65 Durban University of Technology (DUT) staff members who gave it their all at the challenge. The exciting walk/run sporting event recently took place in Durban, last Sunday, 23 June 2024.
The exhilarated DUT staff members got the privilege to run/walk around the scenic Hollywoodbets Kings Park Stadium area and along the Durban beachfront; with the race finishing on the outer fields of this beacon. The objective of this race for the DUT staff members was to promote employee health and friendship amongst colleagues.
Deputy Vice-Chancellor: People and Operations, Dr Vuyo Mthethwa, who took part in the SPAR Women’s Challenge, spoke of the camaraderie, the spirit, the socialisation among the DUT ladies which was phenomenal. “Well done to all the ladies, it was very good to see staff in a more relaxed environment and enjoying each other’s
company outside of the office,” she commented.
All in all, every walker and runner in the sporting event enjoyed the ambiance that the 10/5km sporting event had brought to them as well as the great spirit of friendship while looking after health amongst the participants of the SPAR Women’s Challenge.
