Every distance starts and finishes at Dick Fourie Stadium in Three Rivers. The marathon is a two-lap course through suburbs of Vereeniging with a section beside the Vaal River. It is flat, though the organiser says it still takes steady effort throughout. The half marathon is a single lap, and the 10K is out and back. The marathon has a halfway cut-off of 2:45 and a finish cut-off of 5:45, and it counts as a Comrades and Two Oceans qualifier.
