    A great race. Well worth the traveling from Johannesburg (about 4 hours). Typical small town race where all the locals welcome you to their town. Catch the bus from the finish, in Christiana, at 5am and it gets you to th...

    Mostly on dirt road with one section through mowed bush. Flat run. Watch out for the wildlife, zebras, impala & hartebees.

    This race has been moved from winter to spring. You now have to contend with the warmer weather as well as the HILL. The first 7km are very tough but once you are into the reserve it is fairly easy running. The waterpoi...

    Do this run if you are an experienced marathoner. Once you out in the country there are not many people. No km markers. First one at halfway and then a few until the last 10km which is counted down. If you enjoy running ...

    Race held by Bert Bricks Athletic Club. One of the easiest half marathon routes. Carry a brick from the halfway point, at the brickfield, back to the finish and you get a 6 pack of beer. Not the easiest thing to do!

    A pleasant run around Brits. Fairly easy run except for the hill that you encounter about 4km into the race. On the way back it gets you with about 6km to go. It only lasts about 2km but if its a hot day it is energy sap...
