Top Cape event has new start and finish
2011-08-11
BILLED as one of Cape Town’s most popular half-marathons, this year’s OUTsurance 94.5 Kfm Gun Run will have a new start and finish with participants lining up outside the Cape Town Stadium in Fritz Sonnenberg Road in the new Green Point Park. The event takes place on Sunday 9 October and participants have a choice of either the 21 km half-marathon (07:00), 10 km run/walk (07:30) or the 5 km fun run/walk (08:30), which is specifically aimed at families, younger participants and walkers. This year also sees the introduction of the RaceTec timing system for the half-marathon only. This is the same timing system used by the Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon and the Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour and will make the processing of results and times far easier and more user-friendly. Those runners who already have one of these chips can use it for the half-marathon, while those that do not have chips will need to purchase one for R80. The half-marathon route takes the runners through the stadium precinct, V&A Waterfront, past 94.5 Kfm studios, along the Sea Point Promenade and out towards Camp’s Bay up Kloof Road. The 10 km will wind its way along the Promenade, through the Waterfront and past Primedia Studios in Somerset Road, while the 5 km fun run/walk is routed in and around the Green Point Park. Participants can enter online at www.topevents.co.za or pick up an entry form from any Sportsmans Warehouse, where entries will also be taken in store.
