| Editor's Notes: |
Walkers are welcome to participate in the half marathon, which has a 3-hour cut off time and 10-kilometre, which has a 2-hour cut off time. The Sasol Marathon has earned a reputation for its refreshment tables, usually placed two kilometres apart. A race that is consistently well organised, this marathon celebrates its 59th anniversary in 2009. This information was taken from the 2008 Guide.
