Organising such an event has many challenges and can’t be left to the last minute. The refund policy schedule is based on certain suppliers that have been paid leading up to the preparation of the event.
Every aspect of the event is meticulously planned and synchronised with suppliers, partners, medical staff , entertainers, photographers, catering staff and assistants who need time to adapt to date not even taking in account the financial aspect, whereas most of these parties have been paid in advance to ensure their services. Without these key people and planning we cannot host a safe and enjoyable event.

The Sunday meal & entertainment pass is for runners wanting to stay over the Sunday night for more live music, coffee and a breaky bun Monday morning. Most runners need to leave after the race to be back home for work responsibilities, thus we do not include a Sunday meal with the entry. You can book a Sunday meal & entertainment pass at R300 pp while you enter, or you can log in to your entry and add it to your entry. Email us at info@urbangoat.co.za if you are unable to add this merchandise item.
We will be holding a Sunday Service on the hill. Easter Sunday commemorates the day Jesus rose from the dead after his crucifixion. This service will honor and celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, marking the triumph of life over death and offering hope and salvation to believers. Everyone is welcome to attend. The service will take place at 15:30 on Sunday afternoon.
Yes, non-runners are welcome to book a supporter’s weekend pass and extra accommodation to join you for the weekend but keep in mind that we only have 30 supporter passes available. Supporters can join in on the fun at the coffee waterpoint stop at the old Dwarsvlei train station on Day 2 and enjoy a cappuccino on us! Be sure to book your supporters well in advance.
We also have a Kiddie Zone (three years older and above). You can enjoy your run while your kids are being looked after.
The supporter weekend passes include meals for the weekend (Saturday Dinner to Sunday lunch), use of ablution facilities, use of the chill zone, live entertainment, access to spectator points, coffee, tea, and rusks before breakfast.
Our food is sourced and made by the local community, and thus it’s difficult to cater for individual requirements. Send us an email to info@urbangoat.co.za, and we can look into how we can assist.
*Please make sure to send all dietary requests at least 2 weeks prior to the event.
A Cash bar will be available on-premises. It has a selection of cold drinks, alcohol and snacks.

It’s always a good idea to have your medical aid card with you. Although the signal is not always available, it is wise to take your phone with you. It is also advisable that the 22km runners carry a camelback.
Unfortunately it doesn’t. With over 200+ tents, we won’t be able to provide power points to them all as the power supply on the farm is delicate and won’t be able to sustain the power load.
Yes, however, please bring your own chargers. Familiarise yourself with the venue map upon arrival and locate the bar in the main building. The charging station is located right next to the bar.
Theft is not really a problem in the Karoo, but if it makes you feel more relaxed, then you are welcome to do so.
