Tog bag drop-off

There will be a Tog bag drop-off, you can drop off your tog bag, with clean clothes and walking shoes, and it will be taken to the race village in the DHL Stadium Precinct to await your arrival. The first Tog Bag Vehicles based inside the Start Precinct will arrive at the forecourt opposite the DHL Stadium near P5 by 08h00. The second Tog Bag Vehicle also based within the Start Precinct will arrive at the forecourt near P5 opposite the DHL Stadium by 09h30.

There will also be a tog bag drop off facility for the 42km riders at the info tent on the Grand Parade. These tog bags will remain at the Grand Parade until your finish, and will not be transported to the Green Point Precinct with the 109km tog bags.

Info tents

There will be three Info tents prominently placed at the Start Precinct. In addition to any last-minute race queries, you will be able to purchase a FinishTime timing board for R140 from the Info tent. You will also be able to purchase a timing board for R140 from roaming representatives in the Start Precinct.

Don’t leave home without…

Your FinishTime timing board.
Your number board, affixed to the handle bars to the bike.
Your race number, pinned to the back of your cycling shirt.
The Grand Parade is quite exposed; even if the breeze is light don’t forget to pack a lightweight wind-cheater, to stay warm.
Your front wheel, if you have taken it off to load your bike (this has happened, more than once).
Your shoes.
Your helmet.
Your sense of humour, and the ability to ‘Hoopla’. A lot.
