"Cape Peninsula Marathon - Roadworks/Important Information
February 9, 2015 

The organising committee of the Cape Peninsula Marathon looks forward to welcoming all the athletes who have elected to participate in this renowned race.
We want to ensure you that we are taking every step to ensure a safe and enjoyable journey to athletes and spectators alike.

To bring this about we require all entrants/spectators to be aware of the following;
 
  1. There are currently Road works in place just after Muizenberg, Clovelly and Fish Hoek. These will definitely have an impact on race day. Discussions with all parties involved have been held.
  2. There will be partial and limited road closures within these areas which will assist. Athletes are requested to strictly obey the instructions of the marshalls and traffic officials once these roads are reopened.     Runners/walkers must please show restraint and proceed with caution in these areas.   More information will be disseminated in this regard closer to race day. n addition we appeal to all athletes to refrain from running in large groups/busses particularly in the areas where there are road works (as indicated above).Please also be aware of faster runners approaching from behind who want to over-take – without having to put themselves at risk by having to run wide into the road.(This particularly for those who run in the Half Marathon upon your approach to areas where there are roadworks in place.)The "faster " marathon runners are bound to "hook up" here.
  3. Please obey the marshals and traffic officials directions at all time who will be positioned to assist you in having an injury free race.
  4. Hot weather is quite likely on race day, athletes are therefore urged to hydrate sufficiently at the 15 (fifteen) on route.  Refreshment Stations being provided.
  5. Online entries (www.topevents.co.za) are open until the 8th February  2015 .  Kindly encourage your running mates/friends to take on the challenge if they have not as yet done so.
  6. Because of the roadworks in Muizenberg, supporters are strongly encouraged to make use of Ou Kaapse Weg and Black Hill to get to Simonstown.
The CPM is one of theoldest and most prestigious events on the Western Cape road running calendar with thousands of athletes and spectators participating  and 2015 will prove no exception.

Although entries for the Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon have closed, this event is still a qualifier for both Two Oceans and Comrades Marathon.  You will be able to enter Comrades on the field at the Finish.

We wish you an awesome journey and look forward to rewarding you with a well deserved CPM medal (upon completion) and a refreshing cup of Coke at the finish in Simonstown.

All the best with your race preparations and may you all realise your goals.

Warm Regards on the Run...
