Greyton Mountain Marathon

Greyton Mountain Marathon, now in its sixth year, hosted Greytons very first one day marathon last year, and it was an incredible success with a stunning turnout. This year is set to be even better, trail running at its best in one of the most beautiful places in the Western Cape. The route winds along the upper contour of the Sonderend Mountains and the folds that encircle the towns of Greyton and Genadendal. This stunning route is 42 km, 21 km in the Nature Reserve and 21km on the rolling hills opposite the Riviersonderend River. Weve veered off the known routes for this one and included a big chunk of unmarked mountainside frequented only by local hikers and those who know their way around obscure hiking websites. Its pure mountain running. All proceeds from Greyton Mountain Marathon go towards Greyton House Bursary Fund, providing financial aid to children from disadvantaged communities attending Greyton House Village School. Each step you take supports this worthy cause!
