Itinerary description
This run, in Middelburg, was previously known as Shanduka Coal 5-in-1. It still starts and finishes at the same venue. The route has changed since I last did the 32km in 2013.
The route now stays in the suburbs. For the marathon you get two trips around the golf course. Whilst there are no major hills there are a few little climbs on the route. The one at the end of each lap, just before the finish venue, is most probably the worst.
Not the most well shaded route, except the section around the golf course.
Waterpoints were great. All races have a 6 hour cut off.
It is worth making the trip from Gauteng if you want to get away from the crowds.
