Our MARATHON & SPORTING EVENTS focus this month is Trail Running, and we found this Beautiful Trail Run in the Western Cape, where you run from Fishhoek to Hout Bay, bringing you 20kms of pure beauty, complete peace, combined with a killer run that has up and over everything nature has to offer.
The idea behind the Old Fishermans Trail Challenge was that it would be a precursor to the Hout Bay Trail Challenge.
The founders took the scenic route from Hout Bay to Kalk Bay following what is believed to be the path fishermen used to cross the mountains that separated the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.
Over the years it has grown to be a very sought after race to complete, its not too hard or as gruelling as the Hout Bay Trail Challenge, and is a great race for novices to start trail running with.
The races start and finish points vary each year between Fish Hoek and Hout Bay, and there are both advantages and disadvantages to the different route profiles.
The race has always been environmentally conscious and they have always encouraged participants to take in the beauty of the surroundings that one has the privilege of running in....we think that is the best part of trail running, its always beautiful, life becomes more beautiful when you can get an endorphin rush while experiencing nature. Its amazing!
