About the event

Our Training Camp is designed for the Karkloof 30, 50, and 100-miler participants. However, anyone keen to experience key sections of the route is welcome to join us for shorter runs split over three days, covering the full 50-mile route.

This is not an 'event' per se, but rather a group run and a chance to meet and connect with fellow runners before the actual race weekend. For this to work smoothly, we'll need to coordinate shuttling some cars to the start of each run, as they are point-to-point routes. The route is a GPX run, providing a chance to train with your watch. Key sections will be marked for your convenience.

Friday: 10-Mile Night Run from the Karkloof Country Club Starting at 17h30.

  • This loop section is familiar and not pushed as a must-do – it's simply a fun icebreaker for everyone.
  • We've included it for those in need of the extra mileage.

Saturday: Bushwillow to Karkloof Country Club

  • 06h30 - We'll gather at the Karkloof Country Club for registration and logistics management.
  • 07h00 - We start at Bushwillow Caravan Park and run 20 miles (32km) back to the country club.
  • We've scheduled this section on Saturday so that the 30 milers can participate on Friday and finish on Saturday.

Sunday: Benvie Gardens to Bushwillow

  • 06h30 - We'll meet at Bushwillow for registration and logistics management.
  • 07h15 - We start at Benvie and run 20 miles (32km) back to Bushwillow.

Runners can book and pay for the days that best suit their schedules. You can run your chosen section, or run them all.

The cost per day includes:

  • Trail Fees & Land Usage
  • Limited Marking
  • A single Aid Station on Saturday and Sunday at the 16km mark
  • Limited Logistical Support
