About the Race

From the Ridgeback Race Village and a short dash along the farm’s jeep tracks we head onto Paarl Adventure Trails’ world-class single tracks with famous segments like Cathedral, Supernova and Boulder City ushering runners along to the Pincushion Protea fields where panoramic views and refreshments welcome runners to the second aid station. From here it's a long descent along flowing trails back to the Ridgeback Race Village where supporters and celebration await.

The Boulder is a great trail run of 22km on mostly single track and less than 20% gravel jeep track.
