TABLE MOUNTAIN BEAST, 2025 TBC by Nov 2025
BRUTAL – BEAUTIFUL – BEASTLY
50km, 30km, or 15km of spectacular scenery, gnarly ascents, quad-busting descents.
An unplugged – no frills run! Pushing your limits.
Kicking off at first light, from the Newlands Forest Picnic site, the route begins on an upward slope. Taking in the Pine plantations, this initial section should be done conservatively, allowing your diesel engine to warm up. Beast is not a picnic!
This 30km route description should be read at a faster pace than the 50km one, as you will be running at a greater cadence and speed than the long-haulers. However, you should still appreciate the historical anecdotes and Safety tips.
A Brand new, ‘love nature’ route, loaded on fynbos, indigenous forests of Orangekloof, and easy tracks of Cecilia and Newlands forests – with a rewarding ice cold Castle lite at the Forries finish!!
