The course is a flat, out-and-back along the Vaal River - with a loop on the far end to make up the course distance. From the start, run through the Mimosa Gate with the Vaal River on your right. Keep on the track past the campsites to pass under the main bridge. Run across the lush grass of the Egweni property. Run through their gate and continue straight ON THE GRASS with the river nearby. You'll pass our turnaround marshal and head over three small cement bridges. Stay on the dirt track and keep going until you reach at palisade fence and our sign that reads, "Turn around". Head back the way you came on the right-hand ('higher') track to keep out of the way of oncoming parkrunners. This dirt track exits onto the tar road. After 50m get back onto the grass as you approach the turnaround sign and marshal. Turn and repeat. After completing the loop again, run past the marshal and head for the finish exactly the way you came - with the river on your left. As you pass through the Mimosa entrance gate - with the finish in sight - keep to the parking are and run/walk as fast as you can for the finish
