Entries close at 12 noon on September 14 for all the distances. Pre-entries close at midday on September 14. Late entries available, but +R40 surcharge applies.
The later start time on Saturday of 9am will assist in accommodating those participants who will be travelling from further afield. Distances on the day are 5km, 10km and 20km, with the longer distances kicking off first.
Start time and distances on Sunday:
6am for the 30km, 7am for the 20km and 8am for the 5km and 10km
Earlier start times on Sunday are to avoid finishing too late for the same reason as the later start on Saturday. Although accommodation is not included in any of the entries, there are a number of options including camping at Wagendrift Dam.
Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife Wagendrift Dam gate entry fee is not included in your race entry fee, however, the organisers have negotiated a discounted gate fee of R20.
