DAY 1
12KM & 20KM OPTIONS
This run has a tough start with 95% of the climbing coming in the first 7kms. The trail gently climbs the escarpment where the resting athlete finds views that go on “forever”. Thereafter the trail follows a descent via a jeep track route into the Ntsinini valley and the gurgling pools of the Swartkoppies river. The path follows the riverine bush towards the Race Village. Beware the sting in the tail! This run can be done by anyone with a sense of adventure and a healthy appetite for nature and beauty.
DAY 2
10KM & 15KM OPTIONS
Don’t be fooled by the shorter distance. This run heads out towards the main gate and then follows the Elands river into the forestry plantations. Thereafter it climbs to the contour path and heads towards the spectacular waterfall and cliffs. A steep climb and a scramble through the cliffs brings you out “on top of the world”. Thereafter a gentle descent brings the runners back to the river and through the cool, green canopies of the forests. From there, its downhill home to boerie rolls and beers.
