A group of local Upper Highway trail runners have taken it upon themselves to bring an iconic 42km trail marathon to our local green spaces – the Upper Highway Trail Marathon, due to take place on December 10.
Their vision is to deliver an incredible event that will showcase our wonderful Upper Highway trails, conservancies and reserves whilst developing a long term sustainable platform to support these beautiful green spaces – including but not limited to Everton Conservancy, Kloof Conservancy and Krantzkloof.
Event organiser, Craig Brigg, explains that all proceeds from the race will go back directly to the trail owners to invest in and maintain their trails so that they are preserved for all to enjoy. “We are in the process of securing a title sponsor, but hope to involve a number of our local businesses as sponsors and stakeholders in an epic annual event,” he says.
