Entries open for 1000 Hills Challenge

HUNDREDS of runners are set to converge on the KZN Midlands this month for this year’s The Crazy Store 1000 Hills Challenge on July 26 at Nagle Dam.

The trail run caters for all runners, from beginners to professionals and features a 10km beginner trail run, a 20km intermediate trail and a 35km mountain trail.

The 1000 Hills Challenge offers a choice of routes for the whole family, and prospective participants are encouraged to sign up early to secure their number.

The 10km beginner trail is a fun, scenic meander around the dam, the perfect introduction to off-road trail running. The 20km intermediate trail is tougher, and adds in some hills and technical (rocky, muddy) trails. Some experience in trail running will help. The 35 km mountain trail is for trail runners who know what they are doing. Big climbs and thrilling descents are all part of this toughie.

There will be loads of food stalls on the day, secure parking and space for children to run around. Perfect for the whole family to enjoy a fun day out.
