    This is the route that will be used whilst the reserve is out of bounds. It seems to be quicker than the normal route with some PB's. I think it is slightly easier especially when overtaking because we get to run on a ...

    Quite a hilly little monster. Joburg's answer to the Sunrise Monster. What a pity they chose to run on all the busy roads when there were alternatives. Apart from the late start, a well organised race.

    A fairly flat parkrun around the stadium. Lots of loops. Apparently they have a new route planned for the new year. Watch your step and it gets a bit muddy when it has been raining.
