The course is 5000m (5k) long. This has been accurately measured by us with a professional measuring wheel. The course is at Trichardspruit dam, Secunda. The course is run on a mixture of hard sand paths and grass. Some sections of the course may accumulate mud, leaves and puddles after rain. Dependent on availability, marshals will be at key sections of the course, or signs will be in place.

Course Description

This figure 8-type course consists of mostly sand pathways and 4 different bridge crossings along the Trichardtspruit.
Head east from the start along the path and take the grassy slipway down towards the tunnel under the main road.
After the tunnel keep left and cross the yellow bridge.
Follow the path until you reach a right turn towards the river and go over the blue bridge.
Keep heading east on the path towards the duck pond and turn left to cross the red bridge. This is the turning point to start heading back.
Stay on the sand path and cross the yellow bridge for a second time. Go through the tunnel again and keep right, up the short incline heading west.
Stay on the path until you reach a turn towards the final green bridge crossing and a right turn to the finish line.
