Description:
Runners can park either at Southgate or Northgate Mall. You will take transport to the starting point before the run or after the run depending on where you park. We however DO NOT recommend that you park at the starting point. We would like to encourage all runners to park at the finish line in Northgate. It is more convenient as you will have access to your car immediately after the run.
We will have two buses leaving from Northgate to Southgate. One in the morning at 04:30 - 05:15 before the run, for people that will park at Northgate Mall. The second one will depart midday around 11:30 – 12:00 after the run, for people parked at Southgate.
NB: Please make sure you select the correct transport requirement when signing up for the run.
Northgate Shopping Centre allocated parking, is at the upper level behind the clicks entrance.
Southgate Shopping Centre allocated parking, is opposite the Shell garage next to Entrance 6.
Kindly note that you will be parking entirely at your own risk, at any of these two venues.
The run will strictly start 06:00AM, after a 15-minute’s warm-up and a short run briefing.
The route is a tough UP run (As a theme of this 2019 season), also good enough to give you an idea of the Comrades Marathon Up Run. We have mobile water points every 3km. Some sections of this route have inadequate/ limited running space, so please wear something reflective or bright colours, something that would be clearly visible to motorist. Please respect the rules of the road at all time and be prepared to run on the dirt on the side of the road to give way to cars.
This will be an easy LSD run possible from 6'00"/km to +8'00"/km. Take it easy, don't push yourself too hard.
This is not a race or an ASA affiliated event. It’s just a training run, there are NO prizes to be won.
