They announced a provisional date for Sunday June 11th 2023. They've also stated that it will be a Down run again. Qualification details etc still to be announced.

I was hoping to go for a back to back but can't make this date due to familial commitments. Planning for 2024 for the Up run.

I'll just leave this here, race day is Sunday June 9th 🙂. Was considering it myself but a friend's wedding has put an end to that idea for next year anyway.

Seems to be an internal fight going on in SA if this is true, would be sad if they pulled next year's event.

Open for entry for next year! Not for me this time but haven't given up on going back there again.
