A Brand new, ‘love nature’ route, loaded on fynbos, indigenous forests of Orangekloof, and easy tracks of Cecilia and Newlands forests – with a rewarding ice cold Castle lite at the Forries finish!!
Starting at Suikerbossie Restaurant, a short climb and then the easy running contour to Myburghs Ravine, 3km.
Cross the river (dry) and duck right thru the Pines into Orangekloof, follow route markers and stay on the trail to Constantia Neck, 2km (total 5km)
Charge up at the Refreshment Station (sorry no spectators, as we are inside the restricted area).
Now you follow the lower trail (below the doggie doo road), to the Cecilia tracks, and enjoy strong running on an easy gradient for 4km to the Giant Gum junction (total 9km).
The track climbs up to the Kirstenbosch contour, you might see mountain bikers, and then continues on the single track, via waterfalls and big trees. 3km. Water is drinkable from the streams if running. Expect casual hikers, pass politely we do not have priority. The high point of the route is at The Aloes at 12km total.
Speedy 3km descent through Newlands forest to Forries Finish line !!! Total 15km.
