| Route Description: |
Route Type: Lap
The marathon is two laps of the half-marathon route. The course is run through the suburbs of Benoni and passes five lakes. To add interest, the race circles a bird sanctuary with buck and other wildlife. The route is designed to show off the most attractive sights of Benoni, and passes several parks. You will find the going generally flat, with some long, gentle hill climbing, a reasonably easy run.

| Editor's Notes: |
The Slow Mag Marathon 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 ten marathons. The half marathon featured in the rankings as well and has regularly been voted as one of the top twenty half marathons.
There is a walkers' category in the half marathon, with prizes. 2010 will be the 18th year that Slow Mag sponsors this race, which is one of my favourites.
