A true Cape Town Trail running adventure

A unique, tough, and exhilarating challenge that brings together the best of Cape Town’s natural and urban landscapes. First completed by CW Schneeberger in 1897, this iconic event begins in the heart of the city at Greenmarket Square. From there, runners take on the mighty trio, ascending Devil’s Peak, Table Mountain (via Platteklip Gorge to Maclear’s Beacon), and Lion’s Head, returning to Greenmarket Square after conquering each peak. It’s a test of grit, endurance, and love for the mountain.
