Both the 21.1km and 10km races are timed with the use of chips. If you participate in either race without a chip, you will not be listed as an official finisher or receive an official time. This means you will not have the race listed in your race history or be eligible for prize money. This will mean that you cannot enter it into any of the online portals like Discovery Vitality. There are no chips for the 5km.

As with most road races in South Africa, the race is a gun-to-gun race. The 21.1km and 10km timing chips are synced to the race clock, which is started at precisely the same time as the gun is fired. The time on the race clock as you cross the finish line is your official time, which will be recorded in the results. Always start your watch as the gun fires, not when you cross the starting line. Get to the start early for the best position to ensure you don’t lose precious seconds.

We have researched biodegradable sachets and unfortunately, these can not be manufactured more than two days before the event as they begin to break down. We order over 125,000 so we cannot produce the volume that the Gun Run needs in time. As the plastic is not as strong, they also leak from the pressure of the sachets next to them, so if there is no water in them by race day.

Your race number should be pinned to the front of your vest. Remember the race referees want to be able to see it as you come sprinting past them!

It’s always best to wear clothing that you have raced in before. Remember it may be cold at the start but you will warm up quickly. Consider buying a race t-shirt when you enter if you don’t run with a club.

Early! Aim to line up at the start at least 30 minutes before the race begins if you want to get a good position. Please factor in how long it could take you to park and get to the start of the race.

Due to the location of the Gun Run, you will be parking on public roads and car parks at the start of the race. We have security guards that patrol the roads closest to the start and finish areas, but they cannot be everywhere at once. Please do not park on yellow lines, in front of private driveways and abide by all traffic regulations. Runners park at their own risk and the Gun Run will not be held responsible for any traffic offences or stolen valuables.

Every year we receive reports of runners' cars being broken into. A race of this size draws attention, so please don’t advertise your valuables by packing your boot with wallets, handbags, tog bags and clothing in full view of other participants and members of the public when you arrive. We recommend that you put what you need after the race in the boot before leaving your home and drive to the event in what you are racing in.

We offer secure tog bag facilities sponsored by Biddulphs. One of their trucks will be at the car park at the bottom of Fritz Sonnenberg, with two more at the rear of the start. They will transport bags to the finish where they can be collected. Bags are left entirely at the runners' own risk, so use a small padlock to secure your kit bag. Please don’t bring excessive valuables or money, and switch off your phone.

Water and Coca Cola will be available on the route.

Medics, trained paramedics, an ambulance and a race doctor will be ready at the start, finish areas and various points along the route.

No entries will be taken on the day.

We have a range of number collection venues spread throughout the city. Make a note of which venue you selected when you entered so you know where to collect your number. Take a look at our number collection page for more details.

We will post links to the official results on the website as soon as they are out. Usually, the results are available within 48 hours.

This year we are trialling cups at the first water station in the 21km only. There will be Bluewater refill tanks at this station as well as the finish.

Coca-Cola has also been looking at ways they can be greener, one way is to use 100% recyclable (non-wax) cups. Often our tables are set up 4 hours prior to the runners arriving and the (non-wax) cups tend to 'melt' after standing with liquid in them for long periods. We would like our runners to be able to drink from the cups we hand out rather than getting them all over their chests!

No, but runners who have entered and added the name of their club must run in their club colours with their Gun Run race number pinned to the front, and the WPA licence numbers pinned to the back. If you aren’t part of a club then you can wear whatever you like and you will enter with a temporary licence.

No. Listening to music is considered breaking an international rule of the sport, as listed under the General Competition section of the IAAF rule book. Runners with headphones can be disqualified.

Take a look at the race rules.

This year we are seeding the half marathon and 10km races. We will separate runners into pens A to E according to previous qualifying times at races of the same distance. Remember to submit your best time when you enter. Find out more about seeding.

Yes. There is a shuttle service running from the Civic Centre to Stadium Stations (a short walk from the start and finish areas) and this is free to all runners and their supporters. Your race number is your ticket. MyCiti page.

We have a combined total of 216 toilets and urinals at the start and the finish of the race. There is also one toilet at each water table. Public toilets on the route will be open. Beware of queues so make sure you arrive early if you know you need to use the facilities.

The start is located on Beach Road (near the Water Club) and the finish will be on the fields at Hamilton's Rugby Club. Many runners arrange to meet at the AAC information tent at the finish (look for the AAC white flag). Please don’t wait for finishers at the end of the race chutes as this causes congestion.
