ROUTE DESCRIPTION
Ultra-Trail® Drakensberg 100 (UTD100) runs along one of the most iconic trails in the Southern Berg, the Giants Cup Trail. Runners start from Silverstreams and experience the flowing single track for 60km.
After completing the full GCT, runners will head up the Sani Pass road before turning onto the 12 Apostles Traverse and Khanti Ridge then past Mkomazana. Waterfall and Stromness await before a descent back into the farmlands where the finish line awaits at Glencairn Farm.
The route revisions return the 100k route to its original trails, celebrating the Giants Cup Trail with the final 40km as a true test after completing the iconic first 60km stretch.
