I run there a lot as well, we should organise one together.  Hopefully the unwanted elements stay out there.  Fastest I've clocked for the outside loop sign to sign is about 24:17 I think, what have you guys run? 

 

 

Then you have the strava CR on the route, Francois, it is?

I plan to take it from you in the next two weeks, keep an eye out for the dear John letter from Strava

I only ran it twice sofar, best is 28.50, but that was including a nature stop and taking a pic of a huge tortoise.

Now that the voortrekker monument has some issues, I want to run there Friday afternoons. I usually knock of at work around 2 on Fridays, so are there at 3. Welcome to join if you want

 

Julle manne is haastig, think you might be too quick for me

I managed to find a sub. Post on the fb groups, trail runners have more fun or jozi trail runners.

Yoh what a lekker racing weekend! Did the Thaba 5k, nice little warm up for todays Nogwaja race at Ezomvello. The 25k was tough but man it was such a awesome run with Wildebeest running beside you, jakals crying in the distance and the decent into the river vally was mindblowingly awesome!! Was lekker to check you Vinny!

Hahaha, is it (sounds like!) one of those "easy 6k" runs with 600m elevation?!  :devil:

Need some shoe recommendations. Bought Brooks Cascadia 9s last year (R1400 on special)- getting close to needing a new pair now... Just saw the Cascadia 10s are 2K  :eek:

 

Any recommendations around <1500?

Just to say - I had an awesome run this past Saturday. Met up with a guy for the first time and we did a very nice run in Paarl Mountain. Some known trails, some exploration, some places I knew about but haven't been to yet. Was great...

 

Picked up a bit of a funny on my heel, but that's hopefully just a short-term issue. The overall experience more than made up for it!  ;)
