Road closures in Sandton for Hyundai Rock the Run

South Africa’s first 5km, 10km and 21.1km running event, that uniquely combines running with live music performances, will take place at the Mushroom Farm Park.

“Given that we expect about 8 000 athletes to take part in this event, the safety of both runners and residents in the area is important to us,” said Francois Marais, the marketing manager at Hyundai Automotive South Africa.

“For this reason, Hyundai, together with the Metro police, will instate partial road closures through the affected route.”

Linden Street, Rivonia Road, Daisy Street, Katherine Drive and Pretoria Avenue, West Street and Rivonia Road will be permanently closed on the day of the race from 5.30am to 11am.
