About the Event

Confront South Africa’s steepest and most spectacular mountain marathon at the legendary Sani Stagger on 14th November 2026, a true festival of high-altitude running set within the Maloti-Drakensberg World Heritage Site. This iconic event offers a pure test of endurance across five distinct challenges: tackle the infamous 42.2km "Stagger" road marathon, enjoy the breathtaking descent of the 21.1km Down Run, explore rugged wilderness on 38km or 21km trail courses, or power through a unique 16km gravel route. Each distance traverses the awe-inspiring landscapes of the Southern Drakensberg, where sweeping vistas serve as both your reward and motivation for every gruelling climb. More than a race, it’s a pilgrimage for runners seeking an authentic, community-driven adventure against a backdrop of unparalleled natural grandeur. Whether you’re chasing a personal milestone on the legendary tarmac or embracing the raw beauty of the trails, the Sani Stagger promises an unforgettable encounter with the mountain's formidable spirit. Prepare for a challenge that truly earns its name.
