23 November 2025

KZNTR Logo Transparent

KZN’s very own Table Mountain is on the horizon!

This iconic trail run takes you to new heights, with sweeping views over Pietermaritzburg and beyond — every step up is worth the effort. The route is as authentic as it gets, following cattle paths and rugged terrain that will put your trail skills to the test.

Along the way, immerse yourself in the mountain’s rich lore — from myths of colossal serpents to stories of legendary cannibals. Usually off-limits, this hidden gem opens its trails for one day only, inviting you to make the mountain your playground.

The Summer Series comes to an epic close with the Table Mountain Trail Run! Rising above the Midlands, this iconic landmark delivers a challenging yet rewarding finale, with rugged trails and sweeping views that make for a powerful finish.

The journey begins at Mt Moreland, where runners take on the rolling hills near the coast, before heading to Bishopstowe, where scenic sugar farm trails and riverine landscapes set the stage for something truly special. From there, the series pushes into the Valley of 1000 Hills with the Run Collective Trail Run, building momentum before it all culminates at Table Mountain.

Celebrate your summer of trail running across these diverse landscapes and discover the beauty of KZN one trail at a time.
