REGISTRATION
All entrants must register and collect their race number and goodie bags before the event. Only those who collect their numbers before race day will receive goodie bags and T-shirts. Entries for the 5km fun run and temporary licences can also be purchased online and at all registration venues.


Registration will take place at:
• Dis-Chem Fourways Mall: Thursday 12 January (09:30-17:00)
• Dis-Chem Park Meadows (opposite Eastgate): Friday 13 January (09:30-17:00)
• Virgin Active Bedfordview: Saturday 14 January (09:30-15:30) & Sunday 15 January (before the event from 05:00)


RACE DAY
The race will start at 6am and you will be able to tune into Dischem2012 FM (90.3fm) on the day for up-to-the-minute news and important race day information.


Parking will be available at the Italian Club, only 200m from the start, and at the Bedfordview Country Club. The Linksfield Road off-ramp will be open for traffic, but Riley Road will be closed, so make sure you arrive early to avoid any parking problems.


Modern Athlete pacesetters will be on the road to help you reach your goal time and you might even bump into Bruce Fordyce, Zola Pieterse or a few other local celebrities on the route.
