About this event
The 2023 John Nugent Memorial Marathon took place Saturday, 18 February 2023 from 05:30, at Desert Palace Hotel & Casino Resort in Upington, Northern Cape, South Africa. Distances included a 42km, 21km, 10km and 5km races.
The two-lap route promises the best of Upington with stretches along the Orange River, vineyards, pecan orchards and scenic suburbs. Bring your all surface shoes because you’ll be running on farm roads, jeep tracks and tarmac.
Although this is a flat course, there is a nasty heartbreak hill towards the end of each lap to make sure you earn your unique medal which is in the format of a pair of spectacles.
