Get ready to sparkle! On Sunday, 19 April 2026, we’re bringing the sophisticated soul of the Cape coast to the heart of the Cradle. This is where high-end luxury meets the wild trail, creating an unforgettable morning of "sweat and sunset" vibes, even if it's breakfast time!
Venue: Nestled at the foothills of the Zwartkops Mountains, Kloofzicht Lodge & Spa offers a backdrop of fly-fishing dams and dramatic gorges that will take your breath away (if the hills don't do it first!).
General Information: Time to Escape & prepare to be thoroughly spoilt. Nestled at the majestic foothills of the Zwartkops Mountains within the iconic Cradle of Humankind, this venue is a masterclass in natural beauty & refined comfort. Overlooking six shimmering fly-fishing dams, the lodge sits at the edge of the Blaauwbank Spruit as it carves its way through the pristine Zwartkops Gorge. Whether you’re on the move or relaxing at the lodge, the backdrop of meandering water and dramatic cliffs is nothing short of spectacular.
Distances & Entry Fees: Whether you're sprinting for the finish or strolling for the bubbles, we have a route for every pace. (Walkers and hikers, we love having you on the 5km and 10km!)
15km – R370 pp, 07:00. A diverse, rugged push for the bold.
