Road Closure on Monday in the Cradle

[Craig 26]

I've heard that there is a road running race in the cradle on Monday that might have full road closure.  Have any of you got details that can confirm or deny this as I was planning to ride the cradle on Monday.  Thanks guys.

Yes. It is the Cradle Half Marathon starting from the Cradle Restaurant.

 

Not sure about the full road closure though

Will be difficult to cycle through a thousand runners, road closure or not.

 

Starts at 7. 75% of the runners will be finished by 9.

 

So ride later and mind the cars.

Not sure where you got your info from @CMY44

 

Website confirms:

21.1km runners will pass the lion and rhino park.

Location:

Start at Makiti Wedding Venue, opposite the Sterkfontein Caves, in the Cradle of Humankind

 

 

No details mentioed at all regarding road closure. I dont think this is a massive race, so full closure prob not going to happen, assume bikes will be fine, as the runners will use the cycle lane, the cyclists will have a hard time, so I would rather mtb on the Monday, or as one of the guys mentioned, start I would say at least after 9.

 

21km race starts at 07:00 so will take even the quick runners around 2hours to complete.
