Wally Hayward Marathon, Half Marathon and 10km

Dates: 01 May 2014
Location: Centurion

This event starts in Centurion. Another lap course, the marathon is two laps and the half marathon only one lap. All three events start at the school in Mopanie Road with the marathon being a fast race but also one of the easiest marathon courses.

From the gun there is an easy downhill for a few kilometers before a gentle climb up Jean Avenue. By the second lap the sun will be well up so you might feel it as you endure the slow climb over the highway! Once over the bridge you’ll hit a bit of shade – perfect respite from the sun but watch your footing on the speed bumps.

Once under the highway you’re nearly at the end of the 21.1km route. Remember to save a bit of energy for Hakkin Hill. The 10km route is flat and easy but Hakkin Hill has been incorporated into this route so be careful!
