The 2019 Threshhold Hillcrest Marathon, will be the 40th edition of an event that is always one of the favourites on the KZN running calendar.
With an exciting new title sponsor on board, the event will have a fresh look while retaining its traditional two lap course through the picturesque tree lined route into Winston Park for the full marathon, while half marathon runners and walkers will do one lap.
Our marathon is again the first KZN Two Oceans and Comrades qualifier of 2019 and your result will automatically be submitted as your qualifying time for Comrades Marathon 2019.
Any participant of any event who finishes within the generous cut-off times will receive a commemorative moisture management T-shirt and medal.
Entries will be closed when the cap is reached, even if this is before the stated closing date.

The 2019 Threshhold Hillcrest Marathon has partnered with Modern Athlete and their #RunClean campaign. A first for our event will be that we will be providing Hydration pack refill stations promoting carrying your own hydration. We appeal to ALL runners to NOT throw sachets on the floor but rather throw them away in the #RunClean Garbie bins that will be in plentiful supply along the route. Please help us keep our neighbourhoods clean and litter free.
