Pleasant run through the suburbs of Vereeniging and Three Rivers. My 10th Vaal marathon and 100th standard marathon.

Not as fast and flat as advertised. Lots of twists and turns with no major hills. Lots of little bumps.
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.
The "new" clockwise route. The first km is along the dam wall so it is fairly flat, then it is a slight climb once you are on the old tar road. The last km is fairly flat but it is all on single track with the last few m...

The course has been changed since I last did it. You don't run on the tar road, outside of the estate anymore. The start and finish has been moved away from the road. The only bit of tar is along the section below the da...
The Growler Johannesburg's most offensive road running event! No snide comments about the route, no chirps about the name, no marshals, no prizes, no timekeeping, no drinks tables, no t-shirts, no whining! The 201...
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.
Chilly morning. Lots of twisting and turning on this route with some minor bumps along the route. Well organised.
A run around a vegetable farm. Fairly easy. Lots of space to overtake as you run mainly on farm roads.
On grass with some undulating track on the section out and back to the big tree. Watch your footing. A fairly flat easy parkrun.
Lost the first part of the route. The part with the "minor" hills. A tough run especially in the second half.
The first two km are on dirt road but the rest is on the paved pathways. If you get a good start then you could try for a PB at this parkrun. A very gradual climb from about halfway to the finish.
Mix and match of short trails in the reserve. We took it slow and easy because after the rain there was lots to look at. Beautiful!
Mostly on paths around the Boksburg stadium. Some running on paved roads but mostly on dirt. It might get a bit damp in summer.

The killer hill that you have to do twice makes this one of the tougher parkruns. Look out for the animals.
A slight change to the start and finish of this race, since the last time I ran it. Well organised and worth the trip.
Not too difficult.Run mostly over a mowed grass path around the sports fields. Two laps with a slight uphill at the end of each lap.
New route from Eersterust stadium. With a few hills. I saw 3 that were named. Killing me softly hill. Helpmekaar hill. The last little climb to the finish was called Going nowhere slowly hill. Great organization!
First event at the new parkrun in Soweto. Quite an easy lap course, mostly on grass. Beware the cow pats!
The whole run is on grass and paths. Gentle climbs make this one of the easier parkruns. Two laps around the park. The volunteer team have done a great job cleaning up the park.
Easy jog through the Germiston suburbs. Well organised. Water tables were great. A race worth doing. A good route to run your first 21km race.
A new route starting from Rietvlei. The long climb up Impala is not as bad as I thought it would be. You could run a good time on this route. I think it is easier than the old route.
Most of the climbing takes place in the first half of this training run. Once you cross the highway it is mostly downhill and flat until you cross the Klein Jukskei river after the golf course. The last few km are uphill...
