Route & Other Important
Information
To all 2026 Participants:

The Karoo has been blessed with lovely rain and even a bit more forecast for later in the week. These rains have resulted in our planned route through the Middelplaas area being flooded. This then has necessitated another route change.

All participants will be transported out on the Uniondale road (R341) for a run back into town and the welcoming finish at the Church grounds.

While this route profile may be a bit more challenging. We will still strive to exceed the expectations of our participants. The cut-off time, in need, will also not be applied.

Please accept our apologies. These are circumstances beyond our control. We do remain grateful for the rain and then appreciate your unwavering and loyal support.

Aan alle 2026 Deelnemers:

Milde reens in die Karoo, met nog voorspel vir in die week, het veroorsaak dat die beplande Middelplaas roete nou plek, plek onder water is.

Die roete moes nou inderhaas verander word. Ons gaan nou weer “punt tot punt” deelneem. Alles sal op die Uniondale pad (R341) gebeur.

Net soos in die verlede sal almal vervoer word tot by die onderskeie beginpunte. Die eindpunt bly onveranderd op die Kerkterrein.

Terwyl die roete profile dalk moeiliker is sal ons steeds poog om ‘n onvergeetlike ervaring voor te sit. Afsnytye sal ook nie streng toegepas word nie.

Ons vra om verskoning hiervoor. Omstandighede buite ons beheer. Maar ons bly dankbaar vir die welkome reens en jul ondersteuning.
