Batrun

The creatures that move after dark 🦇🌒

When the last light drains from the city and the mountain turns to silhouette, something shifts. The pace sharpens. The hunt begins.

Hands on quads, feet searching for grip, lungs heaving as the climbs drag on longer than they should.

Eight names. Same objective - own the night.

Watch closely when the signal cuts through the dark 🦇🔦

🏁 Race Start: 19h00, Homestead Park

RECCE TWO ROUND UP 🦇

Defy The Dark: Night Two.

We gathered at Gardens as the last light faded and stepped together into the mountain. Headlamps flickered on and soon a ribbon of light climbed the switchbacks of Platteklip above the city.

We then pushed on to summit Lions Head and through the quiet rhythm of the night - just runners, rock underfoot and Cape Town glowing far below.

A few hours moving as one with the mountain.

The race is ON, and the energy is off the charts! ⚡️

Here’s a little sneak peek into the electric atmosphere at the Deadman’s Tree aid station, where the cheers are loud, the support is strong, and the true Batrun spirit is alive and kicking.

You guys didn’t just bring the energy; you ARE the energy! This is what makes Batrun so special. 🖤
