Route starts from Kirstenbosch parking area and heads north towards Union Rd (M3). Turn right onto Union, and stay on right side pavement all the way up Edinburgh Drive (the first hill of approx 2km, so a walk 1, run 3 lamppost approach is recommended). Then take slipway on right where traffic from Wynberg Park would join into main M3 traffic, go under bridge and down along Wynberg park to Trovato link, while still sticking to right to face oncoming traffic. Trovato becomes Waterloo, which forks to right at bottom into Alphen Hill and becomes Constantia Main rd. Turn right into Parish Road at around 9km mark and then left into bottom of Southern Cross Drive, for a 2.5km climb to the top (a walk/run strategy is once again recommended, especially for the 2nd half, where the incline becomes steeper). Turn right onto Rhodes Drive at about 12.5km and follow route back to Kirstenbosch for the last 3.5km.
About the Calorie Calculator
Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.
When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.
Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
