Many runners turned out for Saturday's run despite the long drive to Cape Point. The weather started off chilly with a slight breeze and cloud cover. But once the sun broke through the clouds, it warmed up a little.

Beautiful colours at sunrise. |
All three groups started at the Buffels Bay parking, with the route going past the visitors centre before crossing the Bortjiesrif road. From here, it was a climb to up Kanonkop to the old canon. Here, the Main group carried on up and around Paulsberg. The Recovery group also carried on and up around Paulsberg to a turn-around point at about 1 hour and 15 minutes. The Main and Recovery groups returned to the old canon to meet up with the Walk/Run group. From here, all three groups made their way off the mountain to "Booi se skerm" before they returned to Buffels Bay along the coast with a short beach section.
