Race Description
This is not a trail next to a road. This is not a park run with views. This is real Big 5 wilderness. The New Planet Zuka Run is a once-a-year opportunity to run deep inside a protected African game reserve on ancient wildlife paths, through raw Zululand terrain, in the heart of one of South Africas most celebrated conservation landscapes. Hosted at Bayala Private Safari Lodge, within Zuka Private Game Reserve, part of the Munyawana Conservancy (home to Phinda Private Game Reserve), this is trail running in its most untamed form. No fences. No tar. No spectators lining the route. Just you, the dust, and the wild.
