Alternative 1 via Paarl, Wellington and Hermon: 

Proceed along N1 towards Klapmuts, taking the off-ramp to Klapmuts and turning left (north) onto the Agter Paarl Road (R44) towards Wellington.

Proceed for 20km, cross the Paarl to Malmesbury Road (R45) at the 4-way stop, crossover the bridge over the Berg River, and turn left (north) onto Distillery Road (R44).

Continue traveling north on this road, through the intersection with Main Street towards Hermon for 21km. Construction work to upgrade the R44 between Wellington and Hermon has started, and delays of up to 10 minutes can be expected at Stop/Go sections.

Continue traveling for approximately another 17.6km, turning left (west) onto the Gouda to Porterville Road, (still the R44), traveling for approximately 6.5km and turning left (west) onto the Gouda to Moorreesburg gravel road.

Travel for 5km, and at about 100m before the bridge over the Berg River, turn right (north) onto a farm road, and after less than 50m turn left (west) and travel slowly along a track next to a ploughed field.

Do not veer off the track onto the field. You will either get stuck or be shot by the farmer!!!

This is the venue for the start of the race.
