This 13 kilometer version of this inaugural trail run in Franschhoek was a circular up and down route on the mountainside above the town. The relentless lung busting uphill set me up for a lovely downhill that puts technical single track trail running on another level – pure excitement!

On the way to the summit - snow in the distance on the Hottentots Holland Mountains.

As one summits, so the view of Table Mountain comes into view. 

At the summit of Du Toitskop Peak, one feels like one is at the top of the world…!
