Lucky Draw: As our ethos is around Experiences, we don’t do prizes for placings however a lucky draw with some great prizes will take place after the run so everyone has a chance.
Timing: Runners are required to record their individual time using their own devices if you wish to do so for medical aid points. Timings will be published on our website a few days after the run for those who might need to submit these to medical aid. Once you cross the finish line, please do submit your wrist band with your timing into the bowl for our virtual lucky draw.
General Information Venue:
October’s trail run takes us into the spectacular Magaliesburg area where we explore Warthogs & African Hills Safari Lodge & Spa alongside the Magalies surrounds. Feel Africa underfoot on a challenging trail run offering an intimate encounter with nature and wildlife. Here you can gain a true perspective of the fauna and flora indigenous to the region. Discover rock carvings along the way, in an area alongside what is said to be the oldest mountain range on earth. Note all routes include the first steady climb into the magalies mountains and the spectacular views are so worth it.
