Each year, we encourage runners to collect any litter washed out by the ocean or otherwise – even if it's just a few small items. It all helps. As always, Quantum Adventures will also employ 3 x individuals a few days before the run to collect litter off the coast in the Soetwater/Witsand area for an entire day.

DISTANCE: 16km of fantastic coastal trail running! This is a linear run, so please ensure you share cars etc.

PS – It is your responsibility to sort out your return transport from Scarborough. Lift share/Uber/Noordhoek taxi etc.

ROUTE:

We will email the GPS track to all entered runners a week before the run. 

No water tables – you must be self-sufficient. There will be portaloos at the Noordhoek beach car park, off  Longbeach, Kommetjie, and the finish.

Basic route description:

• Share vehicles and park in the back streets near the Beach - please do not park at the Beach Car Park. Some regulars use the beach during the morning, and it is only fair to allow them their access. A warm-up trot to the start will do you no harm.
• Starting at De Hoek, Noordhoek Beach. Passing Kakapo Wreck and across Kommetjie Beach.
• Along the boardwalk and below the lighthouse for about 60m if it is dry weather. Otherwise, a slight detour via Lighthouse Road and back down to the Soetwater coastal route. 
• Along the beach/path all the way to Witsand beach, cross the beach onto the Strandloper trail, which is a grassy and rocky trail starting at the end of Witsand beach with some slippery [when wet] rock slabs leading onto Misty Cliffs beach.
• Exit the beach below Misty Cliffs where the Marshal will indicate the route up the timber steps and onto the wide, gravel verge off the tarred section – this is a wide section of gravel. Stay on the "right side" of the road and on the wide gravel area.
• DO NOT run on the tar road.
• Stay on the right side of this very scenic section, all the way to Scarborough.
• You can cross the tar road to the finish at the Camel Rock restaurant.
• PLEASE be mindful of traffic/cars/motorbikes/cyclists/other road users and people walking.
• Exchange your arm tag for your breakfast roll and your race number for your filter coffee.

Compulsory kit:

• Waterproof rain jacket with hood and long sleeves. This is not negotiable - several runners got caught in cold, windy, wet weather in 2024, with several close to hypothermia issues!
