Kleinmond Spar Half Marathon in Kleinmond

This circular race opens with an easy stretch along Main Road towards Betty’s Bay. At the end of town the route turns towards the sea and you run a long but beautiful stretch of rugged coastline before the race settles into a comfortable pace along the lagoon and into the caravan park.

After running through a protea farm you head to Heuningklip Ridge – a stiff climb and you will need to dig deep. From the top of the ridge you are treated to beautiful views of the coastal plains, wetlands and sea, all framed against the backdrop of mountains – well worth the run to see them! After this there is an easy cruise back to town and the finish. Parents from the primary school will be on hand to serve pancakes, boerie rolls and beer – what more could you ask for after a 21.1km?

Walkers are welcome. Entries are taken at the start venue the night before the race between 6pm and 9pm and again on the morning of the race from 5.30am. There are interesting tourist attractions in the area including the penguin colony at Betty’s Bay and the Harold Porter Botanical Gardens. So, run the race in the morning and spend the rest of the day exploring!
