Rhodes Run

The Rhodes Run, South Africas iconic breathtaking trail run, is staged in the tranquil beauty of the southern Drakensberg mountains in the Eastern Cape Highlands, surrounding the Victorian era village of Rhodes. The atmosphere before and after the race is extremely festive. It is common for the temperature at the start to be below zero, usually around minus 10 degrees Celsius. In the true spirit of trail running there are no financial prizes, other than a few floating trophies. All our runners are treated equally with the same pre and post race hand outs, which in themselves are usually rather special.
