About the Race

Run the six day Amathole Hiking Trail in one go. Just like that. Traverse 90km of mostly single-track mountain paths, with a lot of UP and treacherous DOWN through indigenous forest, plantations and mountain grasslands and waterfall framed river crossings, making a total elevation gain of 4800m and drop of 4100m. Unless of course you wander off path… 70km of the 90km is self navigated by GPS.
