Overview
The 13 Peaks Challenge links Cape Town's 13 recognised peaks in a continuous line across the Table Mountain chain, from Signal Hill to the Constantiaberg and back again. Covering more than 100 kilometres and roughly 6,000 metres of ascent, it is one of the great mountain journeys anywhere in the world, and it starts and ends in a city.
We run it as a supported challenge for both hikers and trail runners. You choose whether to complete it over three, four or five trail days; we handle route planning, guiding, transfers to and from each stage, accommodation and the celebrations at the end.
