Merrell Hobbit Trail Runs

Merrell Hobbit Trail Runs

Date: 26th April 2020
Where: Hogsback
Start & Finish: Arminel Hotel, Hogsback, Eastern Cape
Distance: 38km / 16km/ 5km
Entries:  mountainrunner.co.za

“The 38km run on Sunday may be referred to as the short one at the Hobbit Trail Run weekend,  but this phenomenal route is consistently noted as the ‘most value per kilometre’ trail run in the country. Showcasing an immense variety of terrain and challenges, the course has determined runners building a very special relationship with the ups and downs of mountain running.

The 16km and 5km routes are neither flat nor easy, but very doable and see a mixture of racers and casual runners all loving the magical vibe of the forest along well marked routes.
