Rhino Run
01 June 2025



Get ready to run wild for a cause at the Rhino Run, held in the heart of the iconic Tala Game Reserve!
Spanning over 3,000 hectares of diverse landscapes, this trail run isn’t just about the terrain—it’s about standing strong for one of Africa’s most majestic and endangered creatures: the rhino. As you wind through rolling sugar cane fields, lush bushveld, tranquil dams, and open grasslands, keep your eyes open—you might just spot the powerful silhouette of a rhino in its natural habitat.
Alongside these incredible animals, the trail is teeming with life: over 380 bird species, giraffe, kudu, eland, hippo, and more than 20 species of antelope. But it’s the presence of the rhino that makes this run truly unforgettable—a reminder of what we stand to lose, and why it matters.
Perfectly situated between Pietermaritzburg and Durban, the Rhino Run is more than a race. It’s a celebration of conservation, a connection to the wild, and an adventure you’ll never forget.
Run for the rhino. Run for the wild.
