McCarthy Toyota Paarlberg Half Marathon
When: Saturday, 11 August 2012
Where: Paarl
Categories: Marathons & Half Marathons / Sporting Events
A circular route with the first eight kilometres heading through Paarl from south to north. The next 10kms are run on gravel; a steep climb makes up the first 3kms with a recovery stretch of about a kilometre for you to get your breath back. A gruelling two kilometre bit follows your kilometre of rest and this will take you to the highest point of the race. The next four kilometres are on a steep downhill so beware tired knees! The last three kilometres are a great reward for hard work done.
Run mainly on tarred roads, the course heads through vineyards and you are treated to heavenly views of the Paarl / Franschhoek Valley with its surrounding mountains and wine farms. This is one of the oldest races in the country and 2012 will see its 79th running. Walkers are welcome and there is a fun run.
Start: McCarthy Toyota, Paarl
