Hundreds of trail runners lined up on Saturday morning to take on the Ultra-Trail Cape Town 100km, 65km and 35km races presented by Salomon that traverse the mountains of the beautiful Cape Peninsula.
All three races consist of technical terrain with steep ascents and descents. Weather can vary drastically with near sub-zero temperatures in the early morning on top of Table Mountain to 30 degrees plus during the latter part of the day.
Photographers Xavier Briel, Sam Clark and Andrew King were lucky enough to be there capturing some of the highlights of the day:
