About this event
Mnweni, ‘the place of fingers’, is located between the Royal Natal National Park and the Cathedral range in the heart of the Drakensberg escarpment. In years past, this stretch of the Drakensberg was affectionately seen by hardy mountaineers as “remote and treacherous” as the paths are “long and steep”. The terrain is mountainous and the weather unpredictable.
Founded in the winter of 2000 by trail-running pioneers Bruce Arnette and Mark Tannian, this iconic race has grown from just 11 participants and the 40km is now LIMITED TO 250 participants.
The 40km goes right to the top of the Drakensberg at 3000m. The 20km and 10km take place in the foothills around the Mnweni Cultural Centre
