ANEW Ingeli

Nestled along the border of KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape, the Ingeli Trail Run offers a demanding yet rewarding course. Runners navigate winding forest single tracks, rugged mountain ascents, dirt jeep trails, and open grassy paths. A past winner described it as grueling, highlighting the relentless climbs and quad-burning descents—perhaps even an understatement.

Designed to showcase the region’s most stunning landscapes, the route winds through wetlands, trickling streams, tranquil forests, and sweeping panoramas. Participants will conquer one of the highest points of the Ingeli Mountain, with a total elevation gain of 1,997m over 40km. Strong climbing and descending skills are essential for tackling this formidable challenge!
