Fairly cool running conditions. Mostly single track and some jeep tracks. One huge climb up to the top of the waterfall.

A tough race. Get to the venue early to miss the traffic jam.

A tough run through the hills around Waterkloof. Beware the monster hills. Lots of views of Pretoria.

Great weather. Water points fantastic. One of the best marathons to run even though it is a two lapper.

A great offroad run up to the highest point in Limpopo. The first 6km are on dirt road and then the single trail starts for 4km up the mountain. Unfortunately it was misty and chilly up at the top so we could not see much. You follow the same path down to about 17km and then branch off and follow a different path to the finish. Well worth the trip.

Great marathon. Worth the trip to Sasolburg. Water points excellent. Marathon number 87 completed. The extra loop on the second lap that we have done previously was taken out of the route this year. We did not seem to make up the difference anywhere else on the route. Either previous years have been too long or this year the route was short.

Nice run up the Bainskloof pass and then back down. 10.5km of climbing followed by the same route downhill.

Golden Gate Half Marathon at Glen Reenen near Clarens

Cool overcast running conditions. Hectic little hill at about 8km.

The race is run on tar through the Golden Gate park. All of the big climbs are in the first half of the race. There are scenic views along the whole route. The majority of the time is spent above 2000m. Most of the water tables only have water except for 3 that have sweets, biscuits, potatoes and coke. There is enough for everyone. The climb up the very big hill to Generaal...

A great undulating run through the Waterkloof area. Well organised. The weather helped us on the day as it was overcast.

Great day for running. I don't think the start area can handle so many people. The last 3km is always a slog unless someone makes you sprint.

Great off road through the Entabeni Reserve. A tough up hill climb. Can't decide if its worse going down or coming up.

Race held by Bert Bricks Athletic Club. One of the easiest half marathon routes. Carry a brick from the halfway point, at the brickfield, back to the finish and you get a 6 pack of beer. Not the easiest thing to do!
