An awesome new trail running event has been established along the lower Wild Coast, specifically aimed at intermediate trail runners and road runners who like to switch between tar and trail! Run free along miles of empty beaches and undulating hills, following the paths of sure-footed cattle and fisherman as your trail. On the 3 day Jikeleza Jog from Mazeppa Bay to Cintsa, competitors will cover some 80kms of wild running terrain; an experience no runner should have to miss.
Held over a full moon weekend from 5-9 May, runners can take advantage of hard-pack beaches, lower chances of rain and comfortable daily temperatures. Whilst the daily distances are intended at making racing teams work for their times with a tactical approach; they will provide a fair but manageable challenge to rookies of the sport.
If this is your first multi-day stage event it’s the perfect race to cut your teeth on. Spectacular terrain, doable distances and a fun vibe; it offers ample challenge and contest for all. The route is unmarked and unmanned, but basic maps are provided and keeping the sea on your left will guide you to the finish each day. Participants will race as pairs, with some compulsory check-points to collect enroute.
