RACE PREVIEW
Run the most beautiful coastal drive in the world!
®
This is not your conventional ultra; this is something truly special. Running along the coastline, you have a beautiful view as a constant companion.
The iconic point-to-point ultra road race from Kleinmond to Gordon’ s Bay along the scenic Clarence Drive is not your everyday race. The race is proudly presented by Strand Athletics Club, with the assistance of the Hangklip Athletics Club and is limited to 1 500 runners
This route is the perfect preparation for the Comrades Marathon Down run this year, with the steady climbing and downhills to test your legs on their readiness for what’ s coming in June on the run from Maritzburg.
The race slogan,“ Where Limits Fade Legends Rise” is a true testament to the race and what is waiting for runners who take on this challenge. The organisers have created beautiful race T-shirts that can be bought with your entry, giving you a race day momento.
The False Bay 50 starts in Kleinmond, and runs along the scenic coastal road past Betty’ s Bay, Pringle Bay, Rooi Els and Kogel Bay, finishing in Gordon’ s Bay. Temporary road closures will occur between Rooi Els and Gordon’ s Bay. A fleet of sweep vehicles will be following the back runners and will be collecting runners from the cut-off points.
Parking for the race is provided at the Naval Base sport facilities across from the finish and at Gordon’ s Bay Primary school for those travelling by bus from Gordon’ s Bay to the start in Kleinmond. Athletes using private transport to the start can have their drivers and seconds travel back to Gordon’ s Bay along the race route. However, because of the temporary partial road closure between Rooi Els and Gordon’ s Bay, travelling will only be permitted in the one direction towards Gordon’ s Bay.
Buses will start leaving for the start from 04h00 and the last bus will depart at 05h00. Please don’ t be late, and don’ t forget your bus ticket. Unfortunately, there will be no buses travelling back from Gordon’ s Bay to Kleinmond. Closing date for entries and bus tickets are 24 April 2025.
Entries are selling quickly and with more than half gone, we suggest you don’ t wait but enter today.
