The ๐๐ถ๐น๐๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐น๐น๐ฒ๐ด๐ฒ ๐ง๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ถ๐น is not your everyday trail playground.
Set inside the Hilton College Private Nature Reserve, this run gives you rare access to a wild piece of the Midlands that is normally closed to the public. Big views, open grasslands, bushveld, valley drops, proper climbs and the winding uMngeni River far below, this is a route with real flow, proper grit and a whole lot of space to lean into.
The Long and Medium courses head deep into the 650-hectare reserve, dropping into the uMngeni Valley before working their way back up onto the plateau. Expect aloe-studded climbs, wide-open views over Ottoโs Bluff and Albert Falls, flowing trail, dirt road sections and plenty of that special Midlands energy underfoot.
Keep your eyes open too. Warthog, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest and antelope all call this reserve home, and out here, wildlife always has right of way and is a privilege to move amongst it.
The Short course keeps things a little more chilled, winding through shaded pine plantations for a cooler, steadier run with a strong sense of place.
Across all distances, Hilton College brings the good stuff: space, views, wildlife, runnable trail and enough bite to keep you honest. Smooth where it flows, punchy where it climbs, and fully worth showing up for.
Online entries close Friday, 5 June at midnight.

Exciting new challenges are coming to Umdoni 100
After an incredible course recce through the forests, gorges, beaches, and technical singletrack of Umdoni, weโre excited to officially introduce TWO new distance options for race weekend:
Trail 27 Challenge
Two laps of the iconic Umdoni loop. More climbing, more forest, more adventure โ the perfect next step for runners wanting to go beyond traditional trail distances.
Ultra 52 Challenge
Four laps of the Umdoni loop and the ideal bridge between marathon racing and ultra-running. A true endurance test on one of the most unique coastal trail routes around.
Umdoni is tough, technical, scenic, and unforgettable โ and these new distances are only the beginning.
PACER UPDATE
Pacers may join runners:
โข After lap 3 for the 50 miler
โข After lap 6 for the 100 miler
Pacers must complete at least one full section between aid stations before swapping.
Pacer registration is now officially OPEN.
All pacers must complete the registration form and indicate which runner theyโll be supporting.
Weโre excited to welcome even more runners, pacers, and supporters to experience what makes Umdoni so special.

Last week we headed out for a recce at Umdoni Park Golf Club โ and what a day of perfect weather and incredible trails.
We explored the Umdoni loop, uncovered some hidden gems and soaked in those breathtaking coastal views that make this area so special.
This Wednesdayโs Trail News is a big one for Umdoni 100 โ weโve got something exciting coming.
If youโre looking for something beyond our traditional race offerings, but not quite ready for the 50 and 100 miler distances, this is one youโll want to keep an eye out for.
More coming this Wednesday.
