Description:
Parking and travel cost to be covered by runners. The Gautrain is the best mode transport to get you to both starting point, however you should avoid Gautrain parking as it will be a bit expensive (1hr-24hr for R100) if you park there for 5 hours and not use the train. In this case we suggest that you park at malls close to the train station.
Centurion Mall parking on weekends is R5 for 0 - 5 hours and R10 for 5 - 10 hours.
Sandton City weekend parking is R10 flat rate.
Midrand runners: Free parking at The Boulders Shopping Centre or McDonald's Midrand (on Grand Central Boulevard).
35km runners to take the first train out to the Centurion Mall starting point (The first train is the only train that will get you here on time. It doesn't matter where you are coming from.)
