The event raises funds for various projects which include the Rhino Conservation Project, the Maloti Drakensberg Vulture Project and the Crane Conservation Project.
TRAIL runners, adventure enthusiasts and keen conservationists will join forces for the fourth edition of the Rhino Peak Challenge on Saturday, 5 October.
The 2019 Rhino Peak Challenge sees a handful of South Africa’s top trail runners and some of the country’s leading conservationists and adventure enthusiasts rallying together to summit the iconic Rhino Peak in the Southern Region of the Maloti Drakensberg World Heritage Site. The small group of runners will look to raise awareness of the plight of rhinos globally as well as local Rhino Peak and Southern Drakensberg inhabitants and fellow endangered species, the Bearded Vulture, Crowned, Wattles and Blue Crane.
