Description:

One of the toughest trail runs in the Western Cape. It is also an amazing adventure of navigating your way around the mountains the surround the “small” village of Hout Bay, which has breath taking views of the Cape Peninsula.

The race is sought after with entries being snapped up in seconds.

The Challenge course is +-40km long with over 2500m of climbing. It is divided into 3 legs and you are able to enter as an individual or as a team of 3 with each runner doing one of the legs. The route is marked and runners are given a full route description and route map. With most of the course being on single path the race is limited to 250 runners on the mountain at one time. We will once again be hosting the South African Trail Championships in 2019. It will once again be exciting to see SA top trail runners on this course.
