The Hour Trail Run : Pretoria, Gauteng
The Hour Trail Run is a multi-day lap endurance event held at Hazeldean Valley Trails in Pretoria from 8 to 10 August 2026. The event uses a lap format with a new lap beginning on the hour; participants repeat the loop as many times as their chosen race duration allows.
Race options include multiple timed classes:
- 60 hr
- 36 hr
- 24 hr
- 12 hr
- 6 hr
Trail run laps are listed at 4 km per lap. Terrain is described as easy, flat trails with single track and jeep track sections. A minimum of five laps is required to receive a medal.
Entries are available for solo competitors and for teams in some classes, with team sizes of two to three participants where permitted. Support crew may be present in the race village but are not allowed on the course.
The race village is at The Cowhouse, Hazeldean Valley Trails. Facilities at the village include toilets, charging points, a crash zone for brief rest (participants supply their own bedding), food vendors, and a cash bar.
Prize money totals R30,000 and is split between running and bike categories, with a structured payout based on last-standing duration. Tie-breaks are resolved by additional head-to-head laps until one competitor finishes ahead or a competitor fails to start the next lap.
