This may be the most beautiful route of the series. It starts high up in the Nuweberg forest, close to Cape Canopy Tours adventure centre. The first five kilometre route meanders through the scenic pine forest and past the picturesque Nuweberg Dam. Once across the tar road, the scenery changes as runners get to explore the trails below Groenlandberg. The views are spectacular along this stretch, which is where you drop most of the altitude. Runners will pass through the event centre at Fruitways at the 10 kilometre mark, where the 10 kilometre runners will finish.
The 21 kilometre runners will then cross the odd stream or two as you make your way along the single track and forestry roads that lead you around the spectacular Eikenhof Dam and to the finish at Fruitways.
The five kilometre is a circular route, runners and walkers will have a variety of terrain, with a beautiful section along a river, but still get a chance to stretch their legs on gravel roads through the forest and orchards.
