General Information Venue:
This is a majestic venue located on the banks of the Crocodile River & right on your door-step. It’s a privately-owned game reserve so you get to explore over 1000-hecatres of wilderness.
Route – as there are no extreme climbs or immensely difficult terrain, Wild Africa Experiences have rated the route a 3/5 (5 being the most difficult). Note the routes will vary from our daylight trails at this venue ie) GINovation Trail 2022
Participants will receive a branded glass as your medal at the finish line with a well-deserved beer on us (only for runners 18 or older).
*** Due to the nature of the venue, game rangers on site as well as being a night run in the Reserve, there is a strict 2 hour cut off beginning from A Batch starting time ie) 20h00
*** Runners are required to have their own head lamp on them – this is compulsory. If you do not have, Wild Africa Experiences can provide one for you at a cost of R250 which can be pre-ordered & collected at registration (please scroll down the drop down menu to order).
