1000 Hills Trail Festival
01 December 2024


As the twilight of the year approaches, so does the Annual KZN Trail Running 1000 Hills Trail Festival—a legendary challenge that tests runners’ endurance across a range of stunning terrains. Originally known as the 1000 Hill Challenge, this iconic race leads adventurers through rolling hills, striking cliffs, and lush bushveld around the scenic Nagle Dam. Situated at the base of Table Mountain, the reserve is home to diverse wildlife, from zebras and antelope to vibrant bird species like the African Harrier Hawk and colorful Kingfishers.
Join us for KZN Trail Running’s final premier event of the year and experience the beauty, history, and challenge of the African thornveld firsthand. Don’t miss this unforgettable journey!
