ROUTE:

The Half Marathon route starts on the Promenade in Sea Point opposite the SABC building. Runners proceed along the promenade in the direction of Camps Bay until Arthurs Road, where they turn into Beach Road and head back towards Cape Town. At Rocklands Road, they do a U-turn and head out along Beach Road towards Camps Bay. The runners continue along Beach Road until the circle at the bottom of Queens Road, where they turn left, cross over Regent Street and up to Kloof Road. At Kloof Road they will turn right and continue along this road. Kloof Road merges into Victoria Road after Camps Bay High School and runners continue along this road towards Hout Bay. The turnaround point is after the 11km mark in Victoria Road. The runners will continue along Victoria Road and turn left into Seacliff Road and proceed down into Beach Road, Sea Point. Once in Beach Road the runners will run along the
The 50km and 100Km – Every kilometre of the 5 km loop will be clearly signposted. See the route map inside leaflet, for details. It is flat and being at sea level is suited to PB’s and records. Street lighting along the entire loop makes night running relatively safe.
