Parys River Jol 25km and 10km

When: Dates to be confirmed (Tuesday, 09 October 2012)
Where: Parys
Categories: Marathons & Half Marathons / Sporting Events

This is a moderately testing circular course with enough hill work to make you work for your lunch! The route runs partly along the banks of the scenic Vaal River and through the quaint town of Parys in the Free State.

Also in the area is the Dome Bergland; the oldest and largest meteorite impact site in the world. There are eight water points along the 25km route. Each participant receives a T shirt and there are lots of giveaways at the start and finish. The first man and woman in each category will win a gold medal with the second man and woman home getting silver medals. All other finishers get bronze medals.

The 10km race starts at 6.45 with a 90 minute cut off time. Entries are taken up to two weeks prior to the race again at the start on the evening before the race. Late entries are taken at the start from 5am. Walkers are welcome to participate.

Start: Hoerskool Parys
