Itinerary description
Quite a pleasant half marathon that takes in many Cape Town landmarks. There is a bit of a climb up to Rhodes Memorial.
If you want to race this then you have to make sure that you are in the top 100 for the first 8km. The first bottleneck is after a few hundred meters when you leave the field through a gate that cannot handle all the runners. The next bottleneck is at Mosterts Mill when you have to go along a narrow path next to the highway. You lose quite a bit of time here.
Rather take a relaxed run and enjoy the scenery.
The race is also used to collect soft toys for the children at the Red Cross hospital. You either drop your toy at registration of carry it with you and they have a collection point about 3km into the race when you go around the hospital.
One of the more scenic half marathons in CT. A better option than Two Oceans half.
