The Hollard Jozi Urban Run Adventure this past weekend showed trail runners and obstacle junkies alike that urban is the new trail.

Over 2000 runners headed to Marks Park on Saturday 27th May 2017 for a trail run, obstacle course race and all round adventure through the heart of Johannesburg.

“We’d like to thank all the adventurous spirits who joined us this weekend for the Hollard JURA. Runners experienced secret parts of the city they’ve never explored before including; storm water drains, 120m floating bridges, hidden obstacles in the forests, rock climbs, reed tunnel, a 40m water slide by Emmarentia Dam wall and so much more. The Hollard JURA proves that there is an adventure waiting right on your doorstep,” comments Russell Willis, Event Organiser, BAM Specialist Event and Experience Creators.

Both athletes and fun runners walked away with over R50 000 worth of cash prizes. See full results below. To view your results visit Jumpertrax.com

Keep your eyes peeled; we’ll be announcing the winners of the GoPro Hero 5 for the best spectator and runner video and best selfie on Facebook.
