Weight Weenie Posted March 22, 2014 Share Hi all Seeing as I'm doing much more trail running these days than riding I thought I'd start a dedicated thread. So who else here is a keen trail runner?

The 50k is sold out though, but there's still space in the 20k if anyone is keen. Nice little climb up Pofadder and a 3k switchback decent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weight Weenie Posted March 23, 2014 Share Anyone on here done off-road races such as Skyrun, Mont-aux-sources, Rhodes & Amatola? Still lots I want to run, was entered for Num-Num last year but got ill close to the race and skipped it. The Cradle Mayhem stage race is the furthest I've done. May possibly do Retto this year....

Weight Weenie Posted March 23, 2014 Share That's terrible. I really hope you find a cure soon! Haha it's much more of a workout for a short time period but mostly I'm attracted by not having to faff with my bike endlessly, washing and replacing stuff all the time. Just take gear and go run. mrbaker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weight Weenie Posted April 24, 2014 Share Right as I'm doing the RETTO I'm looking for some Pretoria/JHB based training partners for long trail runs. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tunariaan Posted April 24, 2014 Share Those runs you mentoined are hard core, it no one day warrior races, but ultra long and cold stuff.I've done the Otter and a few other.Its expensive but it one of the best races in SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tunariaan Posted April 24, 2014 Share Dryland Traverse is also a great one to do, its one where you can take the whole family and make a nice weekend out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
