The 2nd festival of Gauteng Trail Running is this August, Sat the 18th.

With a choice of route for the whole family, from the beginner 10km river trails, to the intermediate 20km (traverses the lower slopes) to the tough 35km (upgrading to 38km)b and even a kiddies dash on the farm!

A team of 3:
Athlete 1 = 10km
Athlete 2 = 20km
Athlete 3 = 35km

Spend the whole day at Van Gaalens, relaxing after your run on the Veranda and huge lawns. The restaurant and farm stall will keep your eating and drinks needs happily quenched.

Entry fees this year have the option to include a R50 donation to the Wilderness Trails maintenance and the Vulture Conservancy. Cape Town events have raised R100 000 this year, so let's see if Gauteng can help us to help the Wild.
