Trail running

Run the Cape

Cape Town is one of the world's great trail-running cities: a national park rising straight out of the metropolis, with ridgelines, forests and coastline linked by hundreds of kilometres of path.

Legendary terrain, guided at your pace.

The Table Mountain chain runs the length of the Peninsula, which means you can start a run in the city and finish above the ocean without crossing a road. Add the Winelands mountains and the Overberg and the options are almost endless.

We guide runners of every level, from those trying trail for the first time to experienced athletes looking for big-vertical days and a supported challenge. The pace is yours; the route-finding, logistics and local knowledge are ours.
