THE Johannesburg Harriers Athletic Club (JHAC) will be hosting its 69th Jackie Gibson Marathon and 2nd Allan Ferguson Half-Marathon on Sunday March 30.
The 2014 race will start at 06:00 and finish at Rietvlei Zoo Farm. The course will meander through the suburb of Liefde en Vrede and head towards Aspen Estate Nature Reserve. From here runners will head south onto Klipriver Road and turn right into Swartkoppies Road for a few kilometres. The route then turns right into Peggy Vera Road, past Thaba Ya Batswana and the Rand Water Board head office and right onto Klipriver Road. The route passes the Panarama Shopping Centre and onto the bridge at Aspen Estate.
Runners then head back through Liefde en Vrede and finish at Rietvlei Zoo Farm. The marathon route then repeats this new and exciting course for a second lap, which includes a part of Gordon Road in Kibler Park and back onto Impala Road.
Residents of these areas are urged to be on the lookout for runners on this day and to please be patient and understanding as we promote the South’s own marathon and half-marathon.
