The Route
JOBURG ’ S TOUGHEST 21K
This is an extremely tough route that features three big climbs as you run over Northcliff Hill . Hope your legs and lungs are ready for this !
The first tester comes early in the race , from 1km to 3km , and it sets the tone for what is to follow . Then between the 9km and
10km marks comes the second climb , which may reduce you to a walk . The third climb follows shortly on its heels , between
13km and 14km , but once over that , the rest of the race is largely downhill , so enjoy the respite from climbing , but take care not to go too hard , as or your quads may decide more walking is needed ! This is not a course to chase after a PB , it is a hill workout of note , which is why it is so popular with runners training for the big hills of the big ultras .
