ROUTE DESCRIPTION

Ultra-Trail® Drakensberg 100 (UTD100) in 2024 sees the event returning to the best trail in the Southern Berg, the Giants Cup Trail. Runners start from Silverstreams and experience the flowing single track for 60km.

After completing the full GCT, runners will head up the Sani Pass road before turning onto the 12 Apostles Traverse and Khanti Ridge then past Mkomazana. Waterfall and Stromness await before a descent back into the farmlands where the finish line awaits at Glencairn Farm.

The route revisions return the 100k route to its original trails, celebrating the Giants Cup Trail with the final 40km as a true test after completing the iconic first 60km stretch.


Cut Offs

Cut Off 1: 26 km at Castleburn at 12h00 - 6 hours.

Cut Off 2: 58.3km at Sani Road at 19h30 - 13.5 hours.
