Prepare to summit the epic challenge that is Mt Gilboa, the highest point of the Karkloof range, or take it easy meandering through the indigenous Karkloof forests and grasslands. The longer courses will surely test the legs and lungs of any runner bold enough to take the challenge but will also treat runners to spectacular views of the Karkloof Valley and Grey Mares Tail Waterfall – definitely an experience to push the limits for!
