Itinerary description
A marathon that takes you though the streets of Welkom and then onto the road to Odendaalsrus, You run around the town and then start back to Welkom via the Phakisa road. Fairly flat lonely running (unless you take a buddy). The two biggest hills are the bridges that cross the railway line. The waterpoints were great. Ice cold water and coke from start to finish.
A well organised race that is worth taking the trip from Jhb to go and do. If you have put in the training over November and December you could run a pretty decent time here.
