There are certain sections of the new 50km route which allow you to venture onto privately owned farm land which is usually off limits to the public. What this means is that these paths have not been built to the same high standard of those you'll be running on within the Clarens Village Conservancy.  So, while there will be markers in these sections, you will need to self-navigate a little and forge the best path for yourself through the veld.  These new sections of route have been estimated to be a 8/10 for difficulty and technicality.  And while all of that may sound a little daunting - we can promise that the views from the top are totally worth the climb!!

​

While there will be water points along the route, due to the challenging terrain and the early start time, the following are compulsory or the 50km:

• a hydration pack

• a headlamp

• extra nutrition

• a charged cellphone

• and a GPX device
