Happy Monday Trailers

Sticking to the Atlantic side, we're starting at the Green Point Light house.

Route details

From Green Point (Green Point) lighthouse, we warm up along beach road/ prom and head up Glengariff Road (please be mindful of traffic).  At the top of Glengariff we hit the trail, let our lungs catch-up, and turn right to run above Sea Point. 

We follow the Lions Head Path all the way around the bottom of Lions Head.  The 3 Peaks Challenge is on and we should be early enough to miss the runners, but please keep an ear out. We pass the start of the Lions Head hiking trail to head back along the rump of the Lion, at the Kramat we continue to the next parking area.

Here there is an "out and back" option to Signal Hill lookout before turning down towards Bo-Kaap. On our way down we take the first left and then right to the Lion Battery (through the gap in the fence) we find our way to the Noon Gun.  Pause to take some pics with the "big guns" and of the view before continuing our way down the side of signal hill.  

We make our way back to the lighthouse via the side streets, passed the stadium and through Green Point park (again please be mindful of traffic).

Rendezvous and Start Time:  

RV at  the Green Point Lighthouse at 6:20am ready to start running at 6:30am

Terrain and Distance:

Mostly single track with plenty of "up" to start and undulating running.  

Distance: approx 12-13kms taking about 2h30 mins for the Medium Group

Faster Group will follow a similar route with a possible extension decided on the day.

 

Walking Group will be confirmed on Friday.

 

Please Bring:  

A whistle, water, a warm /waterproof/windproof top dependent on weather, space blanket and ICE (In Case of Emergency) tag or card   

 

Important: Our runs are pack runs and may split into 2 or 3 pace groups on the day. Please remember to look behind you at every turn in the route to make sure the people behind you see which way you are going.  Please keep together and ensure that no-one is left on their own.  Routes are subject to deviation on the day.
