Ultra-trail® Drakensberg Miler continues the tradition of years past with a shuttle ride to the start at the Lesotho Border Post.

Runners will complete a shorter punchier loop along the escarpment that will have them crossing back into South Africa via Sani Pass before nightfall. This is great news for athletes and their support alike as all runners will be out of Lesotho before nightfall, logistically it’s easier for supporters along the course in the latter sections of the route.

The rest of the course reads like a highlights reel of the area, ticking off the 12 Apostles Traverse, Khanti Ridge and the addition of extra kilometres along the crown jewel of UTD, the Giant’s Cup Trail, before looping through farmlands through the night to come home to the new Race Village, Glencairn Farm.
