The course

Course description

The entire course is within the beautiful tree lined Constantia Alphen trail.

LAP 1: (Orange arrows)
The course starts from the meadow on Le Sueur Avenue and heads in the direction of the mountain. Cross the Diep river above the weir, then the route completes a loop near Hohenort Avenue before heading away from the mountain. Watch out for tree roots along this section of the course. Cross the Diep river via a wooden bridge near the VOB water fountain. Run away from the mountain for about 1.2km. The Diep river will be on your left hand side. Now cross over a concrete bridge and run towards the mountain for 450m. The Diep river is on your left hand side again.

LAP 2: (Blue arrows)
Cross the river again via another wooden bridge. Watch out for a very tricky section due to tree roots. Repeat the loop you have just done crossing over the concrete bridge for the second time. Head back towards the mountain for 1100m, with the river on your left hand side. The route climbs a little here and gets narrow in a few places. Cross the Diep river via yet another wooden bridge. Almost immediately, 100m, you will cross the first bridge near the VOB water fountain and run a shortened reverse loop of the start loop. You will finish on the Le Sueur meadow while running away from the mountain.

Parts of the course may not be suitable for buggies. Please contact the team in advance to discuss before arriving.

Overflow parking is available on Brommersvlei Road at SARDA.

On the course

The course is 5k long. The course is at Constantia Greenbelt, Alphen trail, Constantia. The course is run entirely on dirt trails. Some sections of the course may accumulate mud, leaves and puddles after rain. Dependent on availability, marshals will be at key sections of the course, or signs will be in place.

Please remember that the parkrun uses shared paths. For the continued success of the event, please give way to other park users. This won't hurt your time, it won't stop you from getting a PB and it will make sure everyone continues to enjoy the event.

Please, wherever possible walk, jog, cycle or use public transport when attending the event. If you do have to drive, please consider car-sharing to reduce our impact on both the environment and other park users. Please also watch out for other park users when arriving and leaving. Parking may be limited so try to arrive early.

Facilities

Parking is limited so carpooling is encouraged.

Course safety

Constantia Greenbelt parkrun is a fun, free event organised by volunteers for the benefit of everyone. We wish to make the event as safe as possible, so participants, spectators and helpers are asked to take care about the following:

  • Please be considerate to the park and other park users at all times.
  • Children under the age of eleven must be accompanied (within arm's reach) throughout the event by a parent, guardian or appropriate adult of the parent's choice.
  • Please arrive by foot, by pedal-power or by public transport if you can - your efforts help to reduce our impact on the park and the planet.
  • We invite everyone to consider volunteering at parkrun. Your support helps your parkrun events remain sustainable and free for all in your community, and it’s also a wonderful way to improve your own health and happiness. Please visit the volunteer page for more information.
  • Take care near roads and car parks – some vehicles drive very quickly. Please congregate away from the cars and be careful in particular if you have children. If you’re driving to the event, please drive carefully.
  • Take care on uneven surfaces – whether on grass or on tarmac. Watch out for cyclists, other participants, pedestrians, children, dogs, wildlife, park animals, vehicles, park maintenance work, falling branches, bollards, posts and other obstacles around the course.
  • Please ensure that you are fit enough to walk, jog, run 5k (3.1 miles) with us.
  • If you see someone with a serious problem, please stop to help them out and get help as soon as possible.
  • If you’re watching, keep clear of participants on the course, and look after any children and dogs you may have with you.
  • It is not permitted to run with a pushchair and a dog at the same time.
  • You are welcome to take part with one dog by your side, within reach at all times, on a short, handheld, non-extendable lead. The use of waist harnesses is prohibited. Please also see this Support Site entry for further details about parkrunning with dogs.
  • parkrunners pushing buggies are welcome, but please take care of others around you and do your best to start at an appropriate place in the field for your pace.

We hope these tips help to ensure that Constantia Greenbelt parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
