This week it is from the Zoo Parking at 7:00, and it's the conventional Zoo Parking run up Boshoff Ave to Top Tap, then along the ridge past Chiavelli's old place, over the M3 footbridge, and down to Wynberg School before coming back along Tennant, past Paradise Motors, and back to the Zoo Parking.
It's about 13 kms, but is a "quality run" with plenty of hills, and its magically scenic.
Thanks to the Bradshaw team for doing the Coke truck.
We meet at 7am at Dixies in Glencairn for a lovely run along the coast to the Black Marlin. As it is an out and back route you can make it as long as you like :)

We start by running up to the top of Chapman's Peak. The first coke stop is at the Lookout point. From here we head back down and the second coke stop is at the car park where we started. The route now goes right through to the circle next to Imizamo Yethu, here we turn right up Victoria Avenue and the third coke stop at the intersection with Empire (for a shorter route you can go down Empire). The route follows Victoria Avenue down though past the Spar and towards the beach and right to the end of the harbour before doubling back indie the harbour for the 4th coke stop outside Mariners Whalf. We now follow the road back along Princess Street until the circle where we turn back into main street. For those doing the full route, you turn into Promenade just after the Caltex garage, heading down to the beach and then back along beach road to the parking lot.
