We’re proud to return to Premier Resort Sani Pass - the official Race Village and home of RMB Ultra-Trail Drakensberg.
Nestled at the foot of the legendary Sani Pass and framed by the towering peaks of the Southern Drakensberg, this resort offers the perfect base for a long weekend of running, recovery, and connection. Surrounded by rolling lawns, mountain streams, and views that stretch to Lesotho’s high escarpment, it’s a place where wild beauty meets modern comfort.

Important to note: Rooms at Premier Resort Sani Pass will only be available to runners who have already secured their entry. If you’d like to secure accommodation on site, make sure you’ve claimed your race entry .

OUR PARTNERS
GLENCAIRN FARM
In 2024, Glencairn Farm became the Race Village for RMB Ultra-trail Drakensberg. A move designed to save you the effort of driving around on Race Weekend, and do very little apart from running and supporting.
The Farm is a dream venue, set against the backdrop of the Drakensberg mountains under the folds of the peaks and ridgelines that are run throughout the weekend's racing.
With careful attention to detail for an athlete's experience with a wide variety of accommodation options, RMB Ultra-trail Drakensberg is proud to return to Glencairn in 2025.
