Prepare to be treated to the "green strip" suburbs of Secunda. The half marathon has many twists and turns and, in race terms is relatively more demanding than the marathon.
FACILITES
This is a weekend family affair. On Friday night there is a pasta evening at entries and registration lapa. For the children the AquaZone Water Park stays open till late.
Both routes present a reasonably moderate challenge. No doubt the Highveld has a special crisp autumnal appeal at this time of the year; the cosmos a soft pastel backdrop to a race that is sublime.
It is the closing stretch that will leave you breathless; it is this final run into the Lake Umuzi Waterfront that runners speak of. It is beautiful; here is where the cosmos becomes legend.
This course race is fast, flat and very easy. As you come down the last stretch onto the Lake Umuzi Waterfront, those who braved the full distance of the marathon and the half marathon, will see glowing in the setting sun, fires for the after race braai and you will know you have had a good day.
