Kruger2Canyon Challenge 2021 is OPEN!
A mountain dripping in indigenous forest. The Lowveld, where wildlife still has first-dibs”.
There aren’t many places like that left on this earth, yet Kruger2Canyon incorporates both.
Based at the picture-perfect Franklyn Park, the venue is tucked at the base of Mariepskop Mountain and on the edge of the Lowveld. Sprawling lawns and dams with forest above and bushveld below, Franklyn Park invites you to stay longer.
The long course on Day 1 is the 5th instalment of the Mountain Marathon Series. Some might wonder – a mountain race on the edge of the Lowveld?? But those who have gone before will KNOW… this race’s reputation is well deserved!!
Day 2 is in complete contrast. Bushveld oranges replace the forest greens as participants venture into a Big 4 Game Reserve (no buffalo) and the terrain is flat & moderate.
Short and long distance options on each day, stage race or a single day entry options.
Entries are OPEN with a 15% special, valid until 10 December 2020.
