DAY 1 | NIGHT RUN
START TIME: 18:30
DISTANCE: 8km
CLIMBING: 110m
CHALLENGE OF THE DAY: The first 1,5km accent sunset run to the summit of the koppie.
PREPARE: Running lights, warm clothing.
ROUTE: With the ring of the bell, you head towards a slow gratifying accent up the koppie as the last remnants of the day start fading, which reveals the final glimpses of Renosterberg in the backdrop. A rolling gravel road darkens slowly, lit only by the soft trot of runners with headlamps as the route leads you to a big beautiful dam, which at night becomes a glistening mirror to the stars above. The road gently leads home through a majestic section of the poplar tree forest and ends alongside the 200-year-old stonewalls to complete a one-of-a-kind night run in the Karoo.
