Unique Fact: A chance to experience trail runs in beautiful mountains, enjoy local wine, dried fruit and a free swim in soothing hot pools.
Both the 20km,17km and 10km route offer awesome, single loops of trails located in the Montagu Mountain Reserve. Starting at the Avalon Springs Hotel, both runs weave through Badskloof Gorge and follow the Cogmans Hiking Trail. The rocky and technical 20km race is not one where you can set your PB, while the 10km race is for the “not so X-treme ones”.
The 4km Fun Run is through Badskloof Gorge and back. A lovely Run/Walk for all.
Events:
4km Fun Trail: 8:30am
10km Lovers Trail: 8:30am
17km Cogmans Trail: 8am
20km Bloupunt Trail: 7:30am
