The ROUTE The BEGINNING THE WORLD’S MOST BEAUTIFUL MARATHON he famous route of the Two Oceans Marathon takes in some of the most stunning scenery to be found in a road running event anywhere around the world, including Chapman’s Peak Drive. From start to finish participants run past notable landmarks that have played a role in the rich history of the city of Cape Town. While most of the route has remained much the same over the years, the biggest changes have been with the start and finish venues. The first race in 1970 found its home at Impala Park in Newlands, but in 1971 moved to Brookside in nearby Claremont, after the Celtic Harriers Club and Villager Football Club formed an association in September 1970. Brookside would remain the host venue until 1997. From 1998, the new route turned left and uphill onto the M3 from Rhodes Avenue, instead of right and downhill, with the finish at the University of Cape Town. Let’s take a tour of the modern route. Main Road, Southern Suburbs The Start Start in Newlands The runners line up on Main Road, Newlands, near the South African Breweries plant with its distinctive aromas. A fish horn is sounded prior to the starter’s cannon, a tradition begun in the early 1970s races to celebrate the old way of life in Cape Town, when the sale of fish was traditionally announced by the blowing of the horn. Southern Suburbs From there the route runs along Main Road through Claremont, Kenilworth, Wynberg, Plumstead, Diep River, Heathfield and Retreat, a relatively flat, easy 10km introduction to the race. These are suburbs deeply etched in the history of the city. For example, Wynberg developed into a small town in the early 1800s as it lay halfway between Table Bay and False Bay, on the wagon trail linking Cape Town to Simon’s Town, where ships would anchor in the stormy winter months. Earlier, Retreat had earned its name in 1795 when Dutch troops were forced to withdraw to this point after the Battle of Muizenberg against invading English forces. 12 The ROUTE Chapman’s Peak Drive ORDER YOUR COPY TODAY This is a must-have for first-timers and veterans; runners, family and friends alike.

Jorrie Jordaan completed 31 consectuve Two Oceans Marathons from 1971 to 2001 18 The winding, twisting, climbing route around Chapman’s Peak is one of the world’s most scenic drives, and is without a doubt the iconic image of the Two Oceans Marathon. It’s also a part of the route that sometimes deceives, because there are actually two separate climbs on this road. Many runners mistakenly think they are on the main ‘Chappies’ climb – and doing much better than expected – when they’re actually still on the short and not too steep ‘Little Chappies,’ which crests just after the 30km mark and warns of things to come. On the other side of ‘Little Chappies,’ runners get their first glimpse of Noordhoek Beach and the Atlantic Ocean, but the real thrill awaits when they turn the corner to see the unmistakable sheer 300m high profile of the Hout Bay Sentinel beckoning them. The road is completely closed to traffic for the duration of the race, making it possible for runners to stop along the way and simply take in the stunning views. Considering the gruelling climb ahead on ‘Big Chappies,’ which crests just after the 33km marker, these views are essential to make the climbing worthwhile. Once over the top, a punishing descent of more than 4km to Hout Bay follows. Runners need to hold back here, in order to preserve their quads for the remainder of the race. 1972 The RACES 1972: Hartley Dominates the Climbs Hout Bay The descent from Chapman’s Peak into Hout Bay has cat’s eyes that are notorious for tripping up tired runners, perhaps also distracted by all the sights and sounds as horns, bagpipes and even cannon shots welcome them into the ‘Republic of Hout Bay.’ At 39km runners pass the Kronendal Cape Dutch House, the oldest home in Hout Bay, and then it’s on to the marathon (42.2km) mark, with the biggest climb of the day ahead. A stunning backdrop O f the 115 entrants, 96 started the race on 6 May in ideal, cool running conditions, with no wind, resulting in a fast pace from the gun. UCT’s Andy Black was first to break away from the pack, going through 10 miles in 59:40, with a 10-second lead over the chasing pack of seven. He stretched this gap between St James and the start of Chapman’s Peak Drive, going through the halfway mark in 1 hour 43 minutes, exactly one minute ahead of the chasing trio of defending champion Rob Knutzen, 1971 Comrades Marathon runner-up Dave Levick, both of UCT, and Don Hartley of Celtic Harriers. It was on Chappies that Hartley made his move, using his mountaineering strength to catch Black near the top of the climb and then powering away on the descent to Hout Bay. He passed through the marathon mark in 2:32:52 with a lead of almost one and a half minutes over Knutzen, who had caught Black at the base of Constantia Nek Drive. The Celtic man continued stretching his lead as he powered home to win in 3:25:12, taking more than 17 minutes off Knutzen’s course record set the previous year. The defending champ was next home, with Black hanging on for third. Sadly, one runner who missed the race was two-time finisher and perennial contender, Robin Stamper. Having suffered a leg injury during training, the Johannesburg-based SAA captain finally made the decision to withdraw while in Australia, between flights. He sent a telegram to the Celtic Harriers organising team to let them know that he could no longer participate, and included the phrase, “Boeing Not Going” in his message! On a happier note, this race saw the debuts of future stalwarts of the race, such as Eric Bateman, who in 2008 would become the first Two Oceans Marathon runner to acquire the full collection of all race medals, having earned gold, silver, Sainsbury, bronze and blue medals. Another was Kevin Rochford, destined to later play a leading role in the establishment of the Friday Run in 1990, a unique extra opportunity to participate in the race for those unable to run on Saturdays for religious or other reasons. In fact, seven of the 86 finishers crossed the line with times faster than the previous course record, with 16 finishing under four hours to qualify for a certificate with a gold seal, courtesy of new sponsor The Argus. The oldest runner in the field, Dr Harry Curwen (59) of Durban, made it home in 5:06:21, but the unfortunate title of first non-finisher went to a P.H. Bokelmann of East London. He was just a few hundred metres from Brookside when the six-hour cut-off gun was fired, but spurred on by the crowds, he continued running and crossed the line in 6:03:31 to a wonderful ovation. He would go on to finish the race within the cut-off in both 1974 and 1975. TOP 10 MEN 1. Don Hartley (Celtic Harriers) 3:25:12 2. Rob Knutzen (UCT) 3:29:43 3. Andy Black (UCT) 3:31:22 4.

That year he also finished fifth in the Stellenbosch Marathon and 10 th in the Comrades Marathon. In April 1973, Hartley finished second in the SA Games Marathon in 2:31:11, and the following month started the Two Oceans Marathon as the favourite, but knew he faced a tough challenge from Dave Levick. He therefore pushed the pace right from the start and led all the way as he came home in a new course record of 3:24:06. A year later he set his marathon PB of 2:22:22. behind Leaving Noordhoek Beckoning Hout Bay Sentinel Press coverage of the Chappies is all about the views 1972 Event Hartley posted two more top 10 finishes in the Two Oceans Marathon, in 1976 and 1980, and ran the race sporadically up until 2000, when he earned his 14 th medal with a 5:57:24 finish. A mountaineer, runner, artist and poet, he is still considered one of the real characters of the race. Levick, Knutzen and Hartley in action 15 22 ISSUE 117 APRIL 2019 / www.modernathlete.co.za 29
