The FNB Durban 10K CITYRUN is a point-to-point race so dress warmly and take a tog bag with you to the start so that you can keep warm and then have something to change into when you get to the finish.

• The tog bag trucks will be at the start close to your start pens so you can drop off your bags.
• You will find your tog bag tag at the bottom of your race number.
• Simply tear it off and attach it to your tog bag before handing it in at the start.
• Your race number will serve as the corresponding number when you retrieve your tog bag at the finish.

• Runners must line up in their correct start chute.
• Participants are allowed to move down a batch but are NOT allowed to move up a batch. 
• Wheelchair athletes will start at the back of batch D.

There will be a mat at the start so you will receive 2 times – a start gun to finish mat time and a mat-to-mat finish time so that you don’t have to worry about crossing the start line a few minutes after the gun has gone off.  The winners can only come from batch A, but your 12km time will make sure you are in the correct start pen.
