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.
