scotty Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) R300 might seem a lot but as mentioned its full road closure and that does not come cheap. The Metro council demands their cut and you can bet they have increased their costs this year. Edited March 9, 2012 by scotty

Kranswurm Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) 2012 Comrades Marathon entry fee is also R300.00 . . . which has a lot more waterpoints! R300 for 3hours racing without using a single waterpoint is a bit much for me I suggest you start then so you can get value for your munny Edited March 9, 2012 by Kranswurm
Garfield2010 Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Not bad for 4 hours entertainment and full road closures and decent waterpoints etc............. How much is an Argus entry?
Garfield2010 Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Oh and by the way, Ironman cost R4,000 te enter! And thats only 60km's of road closure.......... I guess the other R3,800 is for renting the ocean................ GSNieP 1
Ryan Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 What's wrong with the tour de eastrand? Nothing in particular, but after the third race in as many weeks on the same roads. Got a little boring.
scotty Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Nothing in particular, but after the third race in as many weeks on the same roads. Got a little boring. Perhaps, but imagine trying to arrange 3 races within the same month in the North/West Johannesburg. Methinks the villagers will riot.
mooky Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 accomodation, two tanks of fuel etc... yeah, i havnt even factored that in yet...
Sean32 Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 think it was R260 last year ( im under correction though ). However my wife is showing interest in riding it and i dont know of any other route that is this well orgonized and closed off to trafic that will be safe for her to do so it will be worth the money for me . even if she does it only once ever . That said it still a expensive 100km . Cool boet we will do 2 laps and help her.Not bad at R3.09 per km. Argus Thanks to velevt sky R137 per km.
mooky Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Not bad for 4 hours entertainment and full road closures and decent waterpoints etc............. How much is an Argus entry? Also R300 if I remember correctly!!!!
StevieL Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) Don't think its too bad. Shutting the M1 and the N14 for the better part of a day can't come cheap.I see the route has some tweaks AGAIN!!! Edited March 9, 2012 by StevieL
1hill@aTime Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 yeah, i havnt even factored that in yet... still a great race, great fun, watch out for the road block on your way out of town on the Sunday
mooky Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 still a great race, great fun, watch out for the road block on your way out of town on the Sunday Are you doing it this year? I might need a push up that first climb
1hill@aTime Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 warm up, it's a 10k climb , not sure yet either that or panorama,
scotty Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 still a great race, great fun, watch out for the road block on your way out of town on the Sunday The one where they stop you and give you something you thank them for.
