Thousands of runners from across the Cape and the broader South Africa will descend on the Rocklands Sports Field for the start of the 2019 JP21 Mitchell’s Plain Titans race on Saturday 23 November.

With its start line just outside Glendale High School, the race will take runners on a scenic route around the coastline before heading back to the sports field where families, communities and runners will meet in a festive atmosphere in the spirit of community building.
