Route Type: Circular.
The first few kilometres are run alongside the dam and through the tunnel. Then there is a climb over Commando Nek, this is early in the race and should not pose any problems. From the top it is easy going as you cross the bridge over Hartbeespoort Dam. This is always a very beautiful stretch as the sun is rising by this stage. Then there is a steady climb through Broederstroom past Pelindaba. Here it can be very hot but the organisers go out of their way to assist runners by having excellent water tables that offer all sorts of refreshments, such as fruit, ice lollies and even very miniature wors rolls! Then, just like that famous race in the Cape, comes the mighty challenge at about 38 km when you have to climb over Saartjiesnek. You may be forgiven if you think this is Constantia Nek, because the feeling is just the same. At the top you are rewarded with a panoramic view of the dam and the town below. It is run in March in the North West, so be warned, it can get hot and adequate drinking is essential.
7000 finishers!
