Pre-Event: Getting to the Start
The Park and Ride bus service is free of charge for all runners. All you need to do is get yourself to the Grand Parade in Darling Street( opposite the Cape Town City Hall and Cape Town Castle, park your car on or near the Grand Parade, make your way through the queueing system and catch the next available MyCiTi or Golden Arrow bus that will transport you to the start at Woodbridge Island, Milnerton.
There is ample parking in the city surrounding the Grand Parade and Finish area, but please note that parking is on a first come, first served basis on the Grand Parade. Do not leave valuables in your vehicle. There will be portaloos available at the Grand Parade.
The first bus will leave at 05h30, and the last bus will leave at 08h20, but we recommend you arrive early to avoid any last-minute rush, and time your arrival at the Start to ensure that you are well in time for your allocated batch start time. At the Race Precinct in Milnerton you will find coffee stands and portaloos, as well as entertainment and the pre-event warm-up. Once you start the race, you will run back to the CBD, and afterwards, make your way the short distance back to your car.
PLEASE NOTE
• Plan to arrive well in advance of your start time.
• Parking is on a first come, first served basis.
• Parking your vehicle in a public area is at your own risk.
• DO NOT leave valuables in your vehicle.
Post-Event: Getting Back to the Start
If you prefer to park your car near the Start in Milnerton, you can catch a bus back to the Start after you have completed your run. Buses will depart from the bus stop area in front of the CTICC in Walter Sisulu Avenue( right near the Finish), and will drop runners off at the end of Union Road( right near the Start). The first bus leaves at 10h30 and the last bus leaves at 14h00.
