Route Description:
Route Type: Point to point
A race in Cape Town always has that special appeal, the mountains, the sea and the fynbos. When in days of old we ran down the coast to Simonstown we rejoiced. Now that route has changed and it has become different. The race takes in the better parts of the southern peninsula and, what joy, it is a tough run. Make no mistake; you will wear this finisher’s medal with a modicum of pride.
