| Route Description: |
Route Type: Lap
The marathon race is two laps of the half marathon course. It is a scenic run, and looks deceptively easy. You run through the picturesque “Millionaire” area and along the tree-lined Winston Park Avenue. There are some challenging climbs on the return leg, so keep something in reserve. This is especially relevant on the second lap.

| Editor's Notes: |
The Nimas Marathon Challenge has been ranked by the Runner’s World race judges as a well organised and well presented event. Since the initiation of their ranking system, it has been voted as one of South Africa’s top twenty marathons.
This race is an old favourite, and has been on the KwaZulu-Natal calendar for many years.
