In 2001 Chad Ulansky set a new record at 5h27m29s, a record which stood until 2010 when Andrew Hagen posted a time of 5h23m20sec. One year later, newcomer Andre Calitz beat Hagen, bettering the record by nearly 16 minutes, and set an astonishing new mark in 2012 with a winning time of 4h50m21s.The course starts at 108 Long Street and runners scramble up Devil’s Peak, Table Mountain and Lion’s Head, returning to Greenmarket Square after each peak.
