THE RUN
This is one of the most unique races in South Africa. The race starts at the bottom of the Foskor Open Pit with a tough three kilometre climb out of the pit. For the rest, the race is moderately undulating as it skirts the north-west side of Phalaborwa and heads to the finish.

There is plenty of reasonably priced accommodation in and around Phalaborwa. You could easily combine the race with a weekend visit to the Kruger Park. Due to mining regulations you must be over 16 years of age to participate. The five kilometre fun run starts at the bottom of the open pit.
