702 WALK THE TALK 15 KM

THE RUN



The longer 15 kilometre walk has been deliberately changed to incorporate some of Johannesburg’s iconic landmarks. To be sure the first half is a lot harder than the second, as you grind your way along Empire Road and up through the University of the Witwatersrand campus. By the time you reach the halfway all hope may seem lost, but take heart for the balance of the course is both interesting and easy. First there is the Nelson Mandela Bridge followed by the Queen Elizabeth Bridge and then Constitution Hill. The most beautiful parts of the previous route have been preserved. There is the mysterious shade of Sherbourne Road along with the famous Anglican Church of St George and the downhill canter along Loch Avenue. Greet loud enough and maybe Bruce Fordyce will hear you from his garden. The finishing stretch along Barry Hertzog to the line at Marks Park gives a unique view of this busy street. The colonial clubhouse at Marks Park is the perfect backdrop to the country feel at the finish area.
