What a race!

 

A good challenge, well organized, well marked route and real good atmosphere. Congratulations to all involved. Was my second Marathon and next year I'll be back for the Ultra!

Great event, thanks

 

Will have to second all the comments regarding the last 30km though - hotter than hell, only 1 water point and not very entertaining

Enjoyed the first 75k's, last 35ish were BAD!!! All in all a lekker race.

 

Now who ever came up with a the plan to have water points every 10k's is a BLOODY genius!!! (give that man a bells) Even some on a downhill, at least you can finish eating your food while clocking in some miles.

 

Would come back but only for the marathon, those last 35k's were a bit K@k. but good for miles in the legs.

Also what a cool goodie bag. Just a couple of energy bars you can actually use instead of mini soaps and so on. Nice.

My first Baberton XCM.  Hell....what a race.  Only did a K2C previously, and if you compare the Baberton 77km to the K2C....the K2C is for kids.

 

That climb starting at 12km into the route is a crusher!!!

 

But, I'll be back.  One of the best organised races I've entered.  10 out of 10!
