On Thursday, 29 August 2024, we meet at Kloof Nek for the Belgium Waffle route run to start at 18:00.
Meet in the parking area on the left just 100 metres up Tafelberg Road from the traffic circle on Kloof Nek (where the Sanparks info centre is).
The route will start with a crossing of Kloof road at the Nek (please be careful), head up Signal Hill Road, and then almost immediately we turn left and head along the single track towards the Kramat. Just before reaching the Kramat, turn right and veer towards Signal Hill Road. Drop down to the single track below the road, turning left at the intersection. Continue upwards (essentially a reverse UTCT) until you reach Signal Hill Road closer to the top. A little bit of t*r, making your way towards the Signal Hill parking lot. Drop down to the single track at the back and run along the spine back towards the start.
Difficulty grading: 7/10 (not too much in the way of hills, but some sections where the path is a little uneven underfoot.)
Distance: +-10km.
NB: PLEASE ALL DO YOUR BEST TO STAY IN YOUR GROUPS - MOST PARTICULARLY DO NOT RUN AHEAD OF YOUR GROUP LEADER. If you are new to the runs and unsure of the pace of the various groups, then rather run with a slower group initially.
