Temporary Licences ( 10km , 21km & 42km only ) Runners who are not registered with a club and running province must have purchased a temporary licence , costing R60 ( 10km ) R70 ( 21km ) or R200 ( 42km ). A temporary license means those runners are now eligible for insurance from ASA for the duration of the race only . This means it is vital to complete the tear-off strip on the number and this must be deposited into the collection boxes at the end of the race , before you leave the finish tent . Runners failing to complete the slip or deposit it in the collection box will not be covered by the insurance .
