Rusty Gate Challenge

50km | 21km | 12km

The Routes:

50km with 2 500m elevation
A pure mountain ultra that winds through pristine fynbos in the upper parts of the Sonderend mountain range and faster flat tracks through fruit orchards at the foot of the mountains with a combination of single track and gravel trails through deep gorges and over rocky crests. Undulating sections offer a welcome rest for the legs and give the racing snakes an opportunity to make up ground. There will be four hydration stations along this route, at 15km, 25km, 35km and 45km, and an eight hour cutoff at the 35km hydration station.
