Lighthouse 10km Night Race 2011 in Mouille Point, Cape Town

Posted on Feb 25, 2011 under Running | 4 Comments

I am happy to see that the Lighthouse Ten run is going to happen for the ninth time in 2011, as it was my first road race ever that I participated in in 2010.
The 10km Lighthouse run takes place on Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011 along the Sea Point promenade at 6:15pm.

The lighthouse race starts at the Mouille Point Lighthouse in the direction of the V&A Waterfront. It then doubles back along the promenade toward Bantry Bay before returning to the finish at the Lighthouse.

Over 2000 runners are expected to complete the popular 10km run and collect this years medal. A refreshment tent and a live DJ will keep the spectators entertained as they cheer their loved ones along as the sun sets on the horizon.

Registration opens at 4:45pm on Wednesday, 2 March.

Costs:
licensed seniors R30
licensed juniors R15
unlicensed seniors R45
unlicensed juniors R25
