This epic race offers an opportunity to explore the most northern reaches of the Drakensberg mountains, in and around the Blyde River Canyon, as well as the bushveld adjacent to the Kruger National Park. It is a truly diverse and awesome race!
The Blue Canyon Conservancy – in which the second stage is laid out – has all of the Big 5 other than buffalo within its bounds.
In 2016 a number of runners viewed African Wild Dog while on route and 2017 a herd of elephants watched on as the runners ran past! The race is known to create war stories… there is a solid 2800m of elevation gain as runners traverse the different biospheres….
