21st December, 2008 - Waterfront (18kms)

Starting at 07h00 from the gravel car park, the Waterfront Run takes you along the coast to Camps Bay, with stops at Moullie Point, President's Beach, and Camps Bay High School. It then climbs up the high road, giving you superb views of the coast before dropping down again at Sea Point Pavilion, and returning along the coast road to the Waterfront. A very pleasant out and back 18 kms, with turn back points at 6 and 12 kms for those taking it easy.

14th December, 2008 - Boys Drive (15kms)

This week it is a 7am start from Muizenberg. We will be running Boys drive, this is a very scenic undulating run for the first half. The run back from Kalk Bay is nice and flat. Unfortunately there aren't too many short cuts, the only one is down Jacobs ladder, which will cut off about 3kms from your run.

7th December, 2008 - Muizenberg (17kms)

7:00 AM Start

Firstly my humble apologies, as I indicated that the run this past Sunday started at 7:30. I arrived at 7:20 to find a few other runners who had followed the information on the blog. I think this is my first real mistake in the past 2 years, so you can trust the web site :)

7:00am start from Muizenberg Pavillon. The run takes us through to Glencairn, with coke stops in St James, Fish Hoek Beach and then Glencairn.

For a shorter run, some people turn back at Fish Hoek giving you a very respectable 12km. The run follows the path along the coast from Muizenberg through to St James, where we join the road for the final trek into Fish Hoek. Again from Fish Hoek beach we follow the scenic path along the beach front and then over the bridge where we meet the main road that leads us into Glencairn.

There is often the chance of seeing whales and dolphins along the route, particularly at this time of year.

30th November, 2008 - Zoo Parking (13kms)

This week it is from the Zoo Parking at 7:30, 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.

23rd Novenber, 2008 - TokaI (16kms)

We meet at the Spar in Tokai at 7:00am. The run takes us up towards the to Arboretum turning right at the Manor House and then through the Chrysalis Academy to
the Stone Church for the 1st coke stop.

Left onto Spaanschemat turning left again after the grape store and following the road all the way around to Paddavlei (2nd coke stop) leading to Constantia
Road and turning right at Parish into Ladie Mile Extention. The short cut is straight up Spaanschemat joining the Stars on Ladies Mile.

All the way to the circle in Ladies Mile turning right into Firgrove
and the 3rd coke stop. The route then goes back onto Spaanschemat, right at the Stone Church and back tracks to the Manor House where we turn left and back
down to the start.

16th November, 2008 - Fish Hoek (18kms)

The run starts at 7am from Fish Hoek. The run goes through to Simonstown
Golf course and back. As this is an out and back course, you can make it as long or as short as you like. In fact some keen runners training for a marathon have been know to even ventured a bit further than the normal turnaround at the golf course. As always there are coke stops every 3kms of the route. There is a little bit of undulating, particularly the climb into Simonstown and then back out the other side to the golf course. Look out for a whale or two along the route :)

9th November, 2008 - NOTE now 7am Start, Vob Running Club (14kms)

Being summer, we will now start at 7:00am, we run from the VOB Club House this week.

We head up Constantia road and then turn into Doordrift which we follow to the bottom. We turn left into Gabriel road and head back towards the club. This leads us back into Constantia Road which we follow until the intersection with Brommersvlei Road when we turn to the right. This will lead us into Southern Cross Rd which we take to the top. From here we go through Cecilia Forest and follow the old Oceans route before heading back to the club. This is quite a challenging route, but as always there are lots of possible short cuts :)
