The Old Mutual Two Oceans Trail Run 2017

April 14, 2017 @ 6:00 am - 1:00 pm

 

The Old Mutual Two Oceans Trail Runs take runners through through the forests above UCT and offer inspiring vistas over the peninsula on Good Friday morning.

Both the Short and the Long runs start at the UCT grounds and take runners along the lower slopes of Devil’s Peak and nearby forests. Open to beginners and experienced trail runners, these  challenging routes boast varied terrain with steep ascents and technical descents.

Please note that the minimum age for the 12km is 14 years of age and the minimum age for the 24km is 16 years of age.

Both routes are incredibly popular and entries sell out within minutes.
