TRAIL RUNS : 27 AUGUST 2011

5KM TRAIL RUN - 7:45 am start

The 5km trail run is a perfect introduction to trail runners, with one gentle climb, a few sections of tough going and lots of easy free flowing jeep track.

10KM TRAIL RUN - 7:30 am start

The route heads for Umgeni Valley Nature Reserve which has a feast of trails for the ardent trail runner. The 10km route is longer than the stated distance and follows the reserves access road until exiting into Everdon Estate where both routes merge and meander up to the highest point on the route before heading for home.

20KM TRAIL RUN - 7:15 am start

Starting out with the 10km into Umgeni Valley Nature Reserve, the 20km is tough, dropping down into the Umgeni Valley before a real tough climb up "the concrete strips" to briefly meet with the 10km route.  A short common stretch ends with the 20km taking the single track, low road along the edge of the cliffs before once again joining to the 10km route. The rest is common, including a long climb and some gentle jeep track home!

Highlights:  Awesome game viewing opportunities, some big hills and meandering jeep tracks! Come prepared!
