Please note that no runner will be permitted to start after the official main start time for the 42km. Late starts will not be allowed under any circumstances. This is because the rear safety vehicle departs with the main field; any runner starting after this point would be on open, unprotected roads, without traffic safety support. Your safety is our highest priority, and this rule ensures we uphold it.
While we will illuminate the start area to the best of our ability, you may feel more comfortable using your own light or head-torch for the first 30 metres.
Route
Starting at Trident College, the 42km exits North through the back gate, entering Kansanshi Mine. Runners continue down the Kansanshi Mine Road until they get to Kansanshi Golf Estate. You will cross the Solwezi river and turn around near Shoprite on the T5. You will then loop around the Solwezi Secondary School pillar, re-cross the Solwezi River, and make their way back to Trident College for the finish. You will complete this route twice.
Note that the 21km and 42km follow the same GPX route.
Prizes
The podium finish awards for the 42km are as follows:
