Strand Athletics Club, with the assistance of the Hangklip Athletics Club, will host the iconic point-to-point ultra road race, the False Bay 50, from Kleinmond to Gordon’s Bay along the scenic Clarence Drive, on Sunday 4 May.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the race could not take place as a result of much-needed roadworks last year, the 2025 edition has been given the green light, with Balwin Properties taking up the role of title sponsor of this much-loved event.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Balwin Properties False Bay 50 km road race is one of the most scenic road races in South Africa. “Balwin Properties don’t just offer you a home, we offer you a lifestyle, an experience if you like. The False Bay 50 km is just that \u2013 an experience which we hope will be a most memorable one for all runners taking part,” said Ryan Kalk, joint managing director of the Balwin Foundation.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The vision of Balwin Sport is to promote a healthier lifestyle among clients, staff and all South Africans. The False Bay 50 km Ultra is not only a perfectly timed last long run in your Comrades preparation, but also offers an opportunity for runners to improve their seeding.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Comrades Marathon Association announced that the 2025 False Bay 50 km Ultra Marathon will be accepted as a Comrades Marathon qualifier race with a time cut-off of six hours, 10 minutes.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The race will culminate at the race village at Gordon’s Bay Primary School, where the prize-giving and club gazebos will be housed, as well as local food, beverage and sportswear vendors. The official prize-giving will be at 12:30, where the category winners will receive their prize money. There will also be some amazing lucky draw prizes at 13:00.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There will be partial, mountain side, road closures on the R44 from 06:30 to 13:30 between Rooi Els and Gordon’s Bay on the morning of the race to ensure the safety of the runners, water table volunteers and marshals. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The road will be open to motorists traveling from Rooi Els towards Gordon’s Bay. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motorists and other road users are asked to use the alternative route when travelling from the Helderberg to the Overberg during this time.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
