Underachiever Posted September 30, 2019 Share Hi Hubbers I see this race is coming up this weekend. Very little (no) info on the website. Safety, route, etc, etc. Is this worth my while driving from the East Rand all the way to the West Rand?? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinnekop Posted September 30, 2019 Share Also had a look.Seems like a pretty much "kerk basaar for the pros" type race.Even race number pickups are demoer and gone in Jhb. So will have to give it a skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowl Posted September 30, 2019 Share Hi U/A, done the race a number of times. Relatively small race, route usually is well marked with marshalls on every corner. The Kdp Metro also provided some support in the previous years. Very similar to the Wilro Lions/Berge & Dale standard. I.e. no road closure and small shoulder, if available. It's for a good cause and I enjoy the race. I take it you didn't do it in 2016???? Underachiever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
