Event Date: 22 - 24 February 2019
Registration: 21 February 2019
Distance: 29km, 25km / 40km and 23km
Format: 3-day or 2-day staged trail run

This staged trail run will see participants cover large sections of the hidden Karkloof Valley, with the race village set up at Bushwillow Campsite. You can expect a craft race village with gourmet food and beverage options, nice hot showers, clean ablutions and a great family atmosphere.

2019 sees the inclusion of a shorter route on the Saturday, as well as a 2-day option that will cover the Saturday and Sunday (typical Day 2 & 3). We want as many people to experience the magic of the Karkloof with their friends and families as possible!

The run will incorporate trails in and around the Karkloof Nature Reserve, Rockwood Lodges, Karkloof Canopy Tour, Mbona Private Nature Reserve, enchanted Benvie Garden and more. You can expect incredible single track through forests and grasslands and magnificent views down into the valley.

The beautiful Karkloof valley is the breeding ground of South Africa’s endangered Cranes. Sadly, all three of South Africa’s Crane species are in decline due to man’s relentless exploitation of their delicate habitat. By running the WILDSERIES Three Cranes Challenge you will assist in raising funds for the Karkloof Conservancy who work to conserve these beautiful birds.
