Runners are split between two starts: one on Fritz Sonnenberg Road beside the stadium and one on Beach Road in Mouille Point. Your seeding tells you which. Everyone finishes on Vlei Road, and the cut-off is 6.5 hours. Fifteen hydration stations sit about 3 km apart, with water at all of them and Coke or Powerade at 13. Entry is through a general ballot, a charity place or an international tour operator.
