The most remarkable views in the entire world are offered by this famed 50-kilometer adventure. The Mahai Valley is traversed by runners, who take on the iconic chain ladders and descend the Gully. The 21km offers an exciting and difficult new route that has not before been visited. This acclaimed, often sold-out one-day epic trail run takes place in the Royal Natal Park, part of the uKhahlamba Drakensberg World Heritage Site and home to the critically endangered Bearded Vulture. This sought-after event raises funds for the conservation efforts of Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife which does critical work in the Royal Natal Park in line with the conservation mandate as a World Heritage Site.
