Itinerary description
They have changed the route at Shongweni parkrun.
You do two identical laps. Most of the run is now on single track paths with very little opportunity to overtake. The few open stretches need to be used if you don't want to get stuck behind a slower runner. The first single track starts after 300m.
We did this after very heavy raains on Friday night, so there was lots of slippery surfaces.
Beats running in the city. Still one of the more scenic parkruns.
