The Up Run is known for the big five hills: Cowies Hill, Fields Hill, Bothas Hill, Inchanga and Polly Shorts.
The 1st 3 are all run in the 1st 40km with Inchanga taking you to 50km and Polly Shorts with a little over 10km to go. There are also many other climbs like Little Polly’s, Umlaas Road and many other unnamed hills.
In short the up run is an enormous challenge. It is important to prepare physically for the challenge and in so doing also prepare for the psychological challenge of running almost 87 kilometers from Durban to Pietermaritzburg.
