It is really cool if it's still the same.

They bus you out to the start at Posberg lands end and you run through the reserve on beautiful undulating roads to Langebaan. The half starts near the bird hides and follows the same route to the end from half way.

A quick climb up the only real hill, through the 'burbs to the estate finish and you're home.

No logistics, beautiful and relatively easy.

10 out of 10 recommend. 

Sounds Fab! we are staying in Jacobs Bay, so its just a hop and a skip away

For me it's a no brainer if you're in the area.

That and the old Voet are two of my favourites. 

Get in there and Enjoy!

Ah, never heard of it so googled.

Anybody interested in a TOM substitution (56km)? Inbox me for arrangements and details, and please note,there will be no monetary exchange, as there is a process for substitutions.

ha ha. I have the chance, I am taking it! In the meantime I will keep doing the lottery for Berlin

As one gets closer to achieving the six majors I think the lottery weighting starts improving a little. Also I think Abbott majors website has additional lottery type entries if you were unsuccessful in the original event lottery but you’re getting close to completing the majors.

Trying my luck - looking for a ‘swap’ for 2Oceans for my wife. She has an Ultra entry and looking for a 21km. Will handle both substitution costs.
