Bishops Court 10 Route

To kick off the new year, we have a scenic 10km route through Newlands and Bishops Court.
Starting on the corner of Main and Dean in Newlands, we run up to Newlands Avenue, head for the M3 and up Boshoff Avenue to our water point at Stone Church (near Kirstenbosch Gates 1 and 2). From there we head up the road and towards Glastonbury Road - the hill you see in the route profile below. But don't worry, it's downhill all the way home!

  1. This route can be varied slightly to make it slightly longer or shorter. Popular variations include:
    * Running up Klipper Rd instead of Dean Street
    * Turn-around at the top of Glastonbury vs Klaasens Rd 4-way stop
    * Looping through Lichfield Rd instead of straight down Glastonbury
    * Running up Ravensberg Rd instead of taking the jogging/cycling path at Lady Anne Ave
    * Heading back along Klipper Rd instead of short-cutting down Dean Str

  2. Please note that these and any other route variations are typically initiated by one or more sweaty and deranged Hillbillies, at the spur of the moment, and with little or no consultation:))
