Sunday, 07 February 2010 - Waterfront (18 Kms)

On 07 February, we will be running from the Waterfront.

We leave from outside Somerset Hospital (mind the cars, we park on the road), and we go along past the Hotel School and Moullie Point to Three Anchor Bay for the 1st Coke stop.

We then follow the promenade through Sea Point to President's Beach for the 2nd Coke stop.

Then its up the hill, and on to Camps Bay High School for the 3rd coke stop. After that, its along the high level road (magic views!)and back to President's for the 4th coke stop.

Then its back along the promenade, to Three Anchor Bay (5th coke stop), past Moullie Point and back to the start.

Thanks to Annie Bissett and Nancy Richards who will be doing Coke Truck.

Best wishes

Sunday, 31 January 2010 - Zoo Parking (14 kms)

This Sunday we will be doing the Zoo Parking run which is about 14 kms.

We will leave the Zoo Parking area at 7.00 am and go along the walkway to Boshoff Ave ( for the 1st coke stop), and then up the hill to Top Tap (2nd Coke stop). We then go along past all those nice houses and cross the footbridge to the 3rd Coke stop just over the bridge.

Then it's past Wynberg Boys High and left into Alexander and the left again into Tennant and back towards the Zoo Parking past Paradise Motors.

It's about 14 kms, but is a "quality run" with plenty of hills, and its magically scenic.

Best wishes.
