About

Set in the wild terrain around Franschhoek, this trail event is built for runners seeking a true test of endurance in a raw, rugged landscape. The course threads along dirt trails and through unpredictable backcountry, with icy river crossings and thick, scratchy vegetation adding to the challenge. It is a demanding route that calls for concentration, resilience, and a willingness to embrace tough conditions from start to finish. What awaits in return is a memorable journey through striking scenery, capped by wide panoramic views and a hard-earned sense of accomplishment. The atmosphere blends wilderness adventure with a distinctive French-inspired character, giving the race a personality as bold as the terrain itself.
