ABOUT GXA

Largely run on the land of Premier Resorts Sani Pass the GXA is a full mountain excursion for those looking to dip their toes into the RMB Ultra-trail Drakensberg experience. Designed to test those new to the sport just enough to know what it’s all about but with views and trails to inspire one to seek the next corner until the finish line arrives and the satisfaction and elation is highest.

The route takes runners up the Gxalingenwa Gorge, past crystal clear pools and waterfalls, through Ngwenwa Cave and then down flowing singletrack towards Stromness. The Berg literally opens up on your descent to the aid station at the Giants Cup Cafe. Some slowing trails take to another river crossing before a final climb and your descent to the finish at the resort.

For those not quite ready for DRJ, this marks your introduction to the RMB UTD experience - testing when it needs to be, and delivering the same soul-enhancing mountain moments that make the longer races at RMB UTD so special.
