“Entrants can look forward to a really nice run on a fast, flat route,” says Agne du Plessis, Stillwater Sports: General Manager Road Running and Athletics. “Weather permitting, we should witness exceptionally fast racing with the improvement of numerous 10km personal best finishing times. We do have good news for the lifestyle runners though, the route is scenic and incorporates a number of Durban’s iconic landmarks including the Moses Mabhida Stadium, Durban Promenade, Umgeni Estuary and Kings Park Athletics Stadium.
