ORIENTATION OF THE MAP …

• To help you get your bearings on this zoomed in venue map, note that Table Mountain would be off the bottom side of this map, while the Cape Town Harbour would be off the top side of the map.

• Both start lines are in the bottom right corner of the map, with runners heading south-east( to the right of the map), towards the southern suburbs, after the starting gun is fired.

THE START LINE …

• The 10km start is on Darling Street, between the Grand Parade and the Cape Town City Hall, with runners facing towards the Cape Town Castle and the Southern Suburbs, and with Table Mountain on their right. The 10km starting batch areas will stretch from the start line back towards the city centre, with Elites and age contenders lining up first, followed by Batches A to E.

• The 5km start is in Castle Street, between the Grand Parade and the Cape Town Castle, with runners facing towards Table Mountain. Participants will line up in Batches A to C.

• Please make your way to the respective 10km or 5km batches, marked according to the colour of your race number – white for the 10km and pink for the 5km – and the letter on your race number. Please arrive at the start early, to avoid any last-minute rush.
