Bib Collection

We highly recommend picking up your race bib in advance to avoid any last-minute rush. Bib pickup will be held on Friday, May 26th 2023 from 4:30pm to 7:30pm at the Nelson Mandela Park. Look out for the gray coloured tent. Please bring your photo ID for verification purposes. If you would like to collect a bib on behalf of another participant, be sure to bring photo identification for that participant.

Bibs can also be collected on race day from as early as 1:30pm at Nelson Mandela Park, POS. Just look for the bib collection station and a member of our team will be happy to assist you.

Remember, the race bib contains a special strip for electronic timing. Do keep in mind that you should not bend, fold, or break the little sticker on the back of your bib to ensure its smooth functioning. Keep it safe. Ensure that it is away from any metal that might distort its signals.
