Sunday, 28 March 2010 - Two Oceans Practice Run (18 kms)

This Sunday we will be doing our Two Oceans Half Marathon Practice Run which leaves VOB at 07h00.

We go out the main gate and turn up Constantia Main Road and then left into Spaanschemat and left again into Doordrift which we follow all the way down to Gabriel Road in Plumstead. We turn left into Gabriel and follow it along to the Alphen Business Park for the first coke stop.

From there, we pick up the Half Marathon route following Constantia Main Road to Parish, (we don't do the little Spaanschemat loop) right into Parish (2nd coke stop half way along Parish) before turning left into Southern Cross Drive.

All the way up Southern Cross Drive (3rd coke stop almost at the top) before crossing Rhodes Drive into Cecilia Forrest (we don't go along Rhodes Drive today - too many of us) and in small groups go through Cecilia Forrest to Top Tap (4th coke stop).

From Top Tap you can continue along Klaasens through Wynberg Park to the Military Hospital (5th coke stop), or you can go home through the green belts or along one of the roads.

From the Military Hospital it's along to Constantia Main Road and back to the start at VOB.

Thanks to Jenny Bradshaw who will be helping me with Coke Truck, and to Dick and Jean Bradshaw who will be marshaling on Southern Cross.

Best wishes.

Ali & Pete
