Description
The 25km route is moderate and passes through Mayfair, Paarlshoop, Riverlea, Nasrec, Crown Mines and Amalgam. It’s an ideal training run for Two Oceans and Comrades.
Gold medals will be awarded to category winners, silver to the next 50 finishers and bronze to all other finishers. Category winners will receive cash prizes.
Unique Fact: The race passes the FNB soccer stadium, where the 2010 SWC took place. A short section at the end of the route is off-road, over a bridge at Blue Dam.
Entries on race day only, from 5:30am.
This was a very enjoyable race. It is very underrated do to its starting location. I have run it for the past 3 years and was happy to see a significant increase in runners this year. The race started on time, waterpoints were well attended and venue well organised. I was pleased to see the formerly pothole-ridden entrance road was fixed this year. The 25km distance is unique and perfect at this stage of the season.
This race is a true hidden gem. The route snakes through parts of Jo’burg you would not normally go through and includes a nice lap around soccer city and Nasrec. Organisation, waterpoints and safety were top-notch!
