About This Race
The 25-kilometer distance strikes an ideal balance for runners seeking a genuine mountain challenge without the multi-hour commitment of the longer routes. With moderate elevation gain that showcases the Outeniqua's diverse ecosystems, this distance allows runners to experience both the indigenous forest sections and exposed ridgeline views while maintaining a steady, sustainable pace throughout. Perfect for those transitioning from road running to technical mountain terrain or experienced trail runners wanting to test their speed on demanding South African singletrack.
