Promote and protect
While we are growing and developing the sport of trail running, we are also supporting several conservation initiatives in the area together with Wildlife Act, Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, as well as the protection of the critically endangered Bearded Vulture.
The race is also a platform to provide access to opportunity and launch promising young talent in partnership with LIV2Run. RMB, together with the FirstRand Foundation is giving LIV2Run and development runners the opportunity to showcase their talent and provide exposure to the highest level of the sport, in this event.
