26 October 2025

Starting from central community park, runners will head out through the welcoming community of Mt Moreland before venturing into the surrounding farmlands. The route winds along a mix of single and jeep tracks, weaving through rolling hills blanketed with sugar cane, before looping back alongside the Froggy Pond wetlands—home to the famous Lake Victoria Barn Swallows, a real highlight for bird lovers. With its gentle trails and flowing terrain, this course is ideal for beginners discovering trail running as well as seasoned runners looking to test their speed.

The Summer Series kicks off in the rolling hills of Mt Moreland, just inland from the coast. This opening event eases runners into the season with gentle climbs, sugarcane-dotted landscapes, and wide open farm trails. From there, the series heads to Bishopstowe for a run through scenic sugar farm plantations, before building momentum in the Valley of 1000 Hills at Run Collective, and finally wrapping up in the Midlands at KZN’s very own Table Mountain.
