What are the cut-off times, and how long do I have to finish?

Time limit (entry terms clause 2.11): to get a result and a finishing certificate, you must finish the 109km within 7 hours of your start group's official start time, unless the organisers decide otherwise.
Cut-off points: cut-offs are set for safety and in line with City of Cape Town requirements. If you reach a cut-off point at or after its time, you won't be allowed to continue. You and your bike will be taken to the finish at Green Point on a sweep bus, which drops riders in the A-track parking opposite McDonald's.
The published cut-off times:
| Cut-off point | Time |
|---|---|
| End of the M3 | 10:15 |
| Glencairn expressway (Black Hill Road, Glencairn) | 11:15 |
| Refreshment station 7 (Perdekloof) | 13:00 |
| Refreshment station 9 (Noordhoek) | 14:00 |
| Hout Bay (Main Road and Princess Road circle) | 15:00 |
| Bakoven | 16:00 |
| Finish line | 17:00 |
The organisers publish the cut-off times and locations on the event website before each edition, and they can change from year to year.
