What has changed?

This year there will only be a half marathon distance – 21k
In the 21k route, the Departure location changed to the Arrival location – it will be more practical and convenient, making the usual shuttles unnecessary.
Fewer participants and greater spacing at departure and arrival locations.
We anticipate departure to 8am.
