About the Event

Find your perfect mountain challenge at RuntheBerg on 3 October 2026, set in the spectacular amphitheatre of the Drakensberg. This premier trail event caters to every level, from those seeking a rewarding 42km marathon showcasing the best of the Little Berg to ultra-purists ready to conquer the 65km beast with its 2,600m of ascent. The meticulously crafted routes—like the technical yet runnable 25km—offer a pure, unadulterated mountain running experience on rugged single-track. With a vibey basecamp and fully-stocked aid stations, it’s a complete mountain festival designed for runners who crave authentic, supported adventure.
