Enter now
Taking uncertainties due to the current Covid-19 pandemic into consideration, organisers Eric and Esti Stewart from St Francis Sport have decided to adopt a “book now and pay later” approach. “We will follow all protocols stipulated at the time and for now capped entries to 100 per event, and will only open it up for more closer to the time when we are sure larger numbers for outdoor events are allowed,” says Eric. “We also understand that no one wants to pay for an event if they are not sure they can attend – hence the book now, so we can start organising, and pay later, when you know you can come approach.”
The main races (62km, 43km, 23km and 10km) will take place on Saturday 30 October while the 5km and kids races (1km and 3km) will take place on Sunday 31 October. At this stage no prize giving ceremonies are allowed. Although there will be self help water stations along the various routes, it is advised to carry adequate water for your own safety.
