The routes include climbs and descents across mountain terrain. The 40 km route circumnavigates Table Mountain. The 27 km route follows Kasteelspoort trail to higher viewpoints. The 15 km route covers lower slopes and shorter climbs.
There is a list of compulsory kit for all participants. Required items include at least 1.5 L of water, food, a fully charged cellphone, a windbreaker and a space blanket; a waterproof jacket is required if rain is expected. Reusable cups are required because the event is run with environmentally friendly policies that exclude water sachets and paper cups.
Race rules prohibit headphones, dogs and leaving litter on course. Registration is handled through the event organiser and the event is scheduled for 5 September 2026 at the Camps Bay venue. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
