Disconnect and reconnect at Gilboa Challenge!!
Dear Trail Runners & Walkers,
The fast-paced world of today leaves little time for anything else. Work, family, household responsibilities, and even exercise are all competing for our attention. Deadlines are always looming, and there’s always something else to check. Amidst the chaos, it’s easy to feel like we’re losing touch with the things that matter most.
Our ancestors lived a simpler life, surrounded by close-knit communities and connected to nature. Today, finding moments to disconnect from technology and reconnect with ourselves and our loved ones is more important than ever.
The Gilboa Challenge this Sunday is a trail that offers just such an opportunity. The breathtaking views are inspiring, leaving one humbled at the towering forests and verdant valley below, while the flowing trails will give you the sensation of flight.
Come and experience the soul-searching power of the top of the Grey Mare’s Tail waterfall in the Karkloof…Find clarity and answers to your problems in nature!

DNT gets a new look just in time for race day!
Established in 2015, the Drakensberg Northern Trail was the first mountian marathon established and hosted by KZN Trail Running. The ease of access from both KZN & Gauteng and the inspiring routes made it immediately popular. DNT was here to stay!
Since then, the event has been well known & an easy to recognise brand with its bold colours and simple look.
But the time had come for a refresh…
Keeping with the two-tone colours and all the elements that we loved about the brand, but modern and slick.
We love it! And of course we are working on some great merch for the event in just over a months time!
Check out all the info on the website and make sure you get your entries in – chalets are selling fast and the merch is going to sell even faster!! So be sure to pre-order your tech tee to avoid disappointment!
