We have been fortunate enough to secure 3 parking venues for our Marathon where all proceeds will go to Charity. The venues are as follows:

1. Travelling up Old Main road , turn left in to the Hillcrest Centre bottom gated parking (Entrance across from BP garage) , and we have use of the complete bottom parking area. No vehicles to go up to any other level parkings. Hospital road entrance to the Hillcrest Centre will be locked and no entry available.
2. Turning off the M13 behind Plantations and coming up Hospital road , we have secured an area within the government Hillcrest hospital grounds, no parking allowed on any internal roads , please listen to marshalls about where to park and please be kind to the patients and keep extremely quiet until you have left the Hospital grounds.
3. Coming up Old Main road ( Heartbreak hill ) turn right into Highbury road , turn right again at the Highbury main gate – parking will be on three fields and some laid out tarred parking. Again please keep noise down, absolutely no littering will be tolerated.

We will be having two different food vendors at our event to satisfy your hunger. Hillcrest Aids Centre will be making bacon and egg rolls @ R25 each and Kloof Round Table will be selling hamburgers and boerie rolls for R25 each. All proceeds are going to charity. There will also be two different Coffee vendors available. Please support them.

We will also be selling drinks from our Bar.
