TIMING
Your PeakTiming timing chip is attached to your race number . Please do not fold your race number as it will damage the chip .
AID STATIONS
ALL aid stations are CUP-LESS , so you need to carry your own collapsible cup or container of sorts . The aidstation crew will ONLY dispense into your own cup and no cups will be available .
The 22km will have an aid station at the Glen Picnic Site at 7.9km and at Signal Hill which is 14.8km into the race .

ROUTE
While the route is fully marked , Table Mountain National Park is a public space with all manner of opportunity for course markers to be tampered with . There will be prerace runners checking the route but PLEASE familiarise yourself with the race route by downloading the GPX file from the website << download here >>.
TRAIL ETIQUETTE
The trails we are using are not exclusive to the race , so please be respectful of other users at all times . If you wear earphones , please keep it at a reasonable level so that you can still hear someone calling to pass behind you . Please apply the standard rule of ‘ Keep left and pass right ’ and only when it is safe to do so .
Please remain on the marked trail at all times . Please report anyone taking short cuts or acting in a manner that may be considered dangerous to other trail users to race control .
MAJOR ROAD CROSSINGS
There are several major road crossings . While these will be managed by marshals and traffic police , please use your own common sense and follow the instructions of the marshals at all times . You are responsible for your own safety .
ROUTE MARKING
Course marshals will guide you in the city sections . All course junctions and course splits will be marked using A4 trail run boards ( red arrow on a yellow background ). Course split boards will read 46km or 22km . The trails between marker boards will be marked at regular intervals with fluorescent orange marker flags . It is your responsibility to know and follow the route .
CUT-OFFS
Cut-off times are a necessary evil unfortunately , that ultimately are imposed to protect the integrity of the safety plan for ALL participants & support crew . Cutoff times are generous and in keeping with being as inclusive as possible of all abilities - but there has to be a limit set , over which time will only exacerbate the risk .
