Dates:  29 June – 01 July 2018

Venue: iSimangaliso Wetland Park, Sugarloaf Campsite, Lake St Lucia Estuary

Format: The event consists of 3 stages

Stage 1 (29 June 2018 ):

Full moon beach run 6km (open to spectators, family and friends not doing the full event)

Stage 2 (30 June 2018):

Maphelane Loop 37km / 20km

Stage 3 (1 July 2018 ):

Cape Vidal / Mission Rocks to Sugarloaf Campsite, Lake St Lucia Estuary 39km / 16km

All stages start and finish at Sugarloaf Campsite where the race village is located, other than the third and final stage that starts at Cape Vidal (39km Long Course) / Mission Rocks (16km Short Course). The race is well suited to a variety of runners with a relatively small amount of elevation gain across the 3 stages. While the sand dunes do provide some challenging sections, the general profile of each stage is quite flat when compared to other trail running events, especially those in the mountains.

The Long Course distances have been chosen to allow participants to cover significant portions of the iSimangaliso Wetland park and view the diversity of elevation located in the area, taking in highlights such as the Jolly Rubino shipwreck, Cape St Lucia Lighthouse and big 5 game areas of the park.

A half distance Short Course has been introduced to allow participants to get a taste for this incredible area.

The overall event will be family orientated (not the running of stage 2 and 3) with a number of activities around the event that will provide for children while adults are out running. See the spectators page for more information.
