Blythedale Trail Run

Kicking off on the golden sands of Grumpy’s beach, every course begins to the soundtrack of crashing waves before winding into the lush, indigenous forests that frame the northern coastline. The route leads towards the stunning Mdlotane Estuary, where river and ocean collide in a breathtaking display of nature. From there, the adventure opens up into a mix of flowing single track and rugged dirt roads, weaving through dense coastal forest and tangled shrubland. The longer distances venture even further inland, incorporating sugar farm tracks to stretch the mileage and keep the challenge alive with every step. More than just a run, this is an immersion into the raw beauty of the coast — from towering forest canopies to the salty tang of sea breezes, all carried along by the natural rhythm of the waves.
