Mlambo walks away with Grand Prix
Poppy Mlambo (Mr Price CG) became R50 000 richer on Friday, after receiving the first prize for winning the 2008 SPAR Women's 10km Challenge Grand Prix.Mlambo, who ran in all five Grand Prix races, finished with 88 points --eight ahead of her nearest rival, Ezbé Strydom of North West University. Strydom received a cheque for R30 000 and third placed Gloria Baeba (Transnet) received R15 000.
International and national commitments meant that last year's Grand Prix winner, René Kalmer (Mr Price CG), was only able to take part in two races. She nevertheless finished in eighth place, winning R5 000.
"My first goal will be the South African marathon championships in Durban in February, and I will also run in the Soweto Marathon next year. I live in Soweto, so I want to support the race."
The Grand Prix was introduced in 2007 and has proved very popular with athletes around the country. Points are earned from each of the five races run in Port Elizabeth, Durban, Cape Town, Pretoria and Johannesburg.
