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.
Route – Due to the nature of the terrain and the first climb, Wild Africa Experiences have rated the route a 4/5 (5 been the most difficult)
Medals : Participants will receive a branded glass beer mug at the finish line with a complimentary beer tasting after the trail.
