There will be tog bag trucks at the start in FNB Bank and at the Finish at Mary Fitzgerald Square. There is a fan walk connecting the two drop offs on Jeppe Street so it will be easy for you to collect your bag. Follow the signs to the tog bag trucks.
CAN I LISTEN TO MUSIC WHEN I RUN?
We recommend that you don’t run with music for the following reasons:
1. You won’t be able to soak up the atmosphere of the race.
2. You won’t hear the commentators or announcements at the start.
3. There is traffic on the road that you are running on and you won’t hear it.
4. We have 24 vibe points with music and live bands along the route and you will miss out.
5. Sometimes marshals or referees will need to direct you and you won’t be able to hear them.
WHY IS THE TIME ON MY WATCH NOT THE SAME AS MY OFFICIAL TIME?
This is a gun to finish line race so your official time is recorded from when the gun goes off at the start, to when you cross the finish line. However, we will have a mat at the start and your time as you cross the start line will also be recorded. You will therefore receive two times for the run and the second one will be the same as the one recorded on your watch.
WHERE CAN I FIND MY RESULTS?
These will be posted to the website www.joburg10k.com on race day.
