Water table: 2 tables en route.
The course exits the picnic site onto the beach for 1km, before climbing through the dunes onto a contour road. This road undulates, parallel to the coast, before turning inland along the edge of the mangrove-lined lagoon. Runners will climb up to a higher contour road that meanders through plantations to a viewing platform, with a breath-taking 180deg view up and down the coastline. The final few km descend through the forested single track back to the spectacular picnic site below the shady Flatcrown trees.

The venue for this event is the scenic picnic site at the Blythedale Coastal Estate, set in the shade of the Waterberry trees. With the beach just over the dunes, this is a perfect setting for a day out.
Pre-entries close at MIDDAY on Friday, 8th March. Late entries will be available on the day of the event but at a R50 surcharge (U18’s exempt).
Registration and late entries will open at 6:00 am through to 7:30 am. Please arrive with plenty of time to process your registration.
KZNTR KidZone will be available for Children (2yrs+). Experienced childminders will allow parents to get out and enjoy exhilarating trails by distracting (and watching over) the little ones with stimulating and fun activities at the Race Village.
As KZNTR is moving toward the more ecologically friendly cupless water tables, we ask you to please ensure that you bring your own trail cup, water bottles and/or hydration packs for on course hydration and refills!
