Entries are now open for the 32nd edition of the Mr Price Winelands Marathon, to be held on the 21st of November 2009. Both events will once again start and finish at the Markotter Sports Grounds in Stellenbosch.
Mr Price continues their relationship with the Winelands Marathon as sponsor of the event. The marathon, boasting one of the most scenic routes on the South African calendar, will be run for the 32nd time in 2009. It runs through the stunning winelands of the Stellenbosch and Somerset West area and offers wonderful views of vineyards and mountains. The half marathon (21.1km) will be run for the 13th time and runs along part of the marathon course, also offering runners a scenic route that includes a gravel road section with wonderful mountain views.
The marathon will start at 5:30am and the half marathon 15 minutes later, plus there will be a 5km fun run that sets off at 6:30am. The marathon and half are pre-entry only events and entries close on the 6th of November. Entries for the fun run will be taken on race-day.
Entry forms are available at Mr Price Sport branches and most other sport shops in the Western Cape, and will also be handed out at races in the Western Province and Boland during the next few weeks. Race entry can also be purchased at any Mr Price, Mr Price Home or Mr Price Sport store nationally without any entry form required. Entrants need to proceed directly to the checkout counter to enquire about the entry process.
The marathon will double up as Western Province and Boland provincial championships for 2009, while both events will count as WP Road League events.
