[ROUTE & FEATURES ] 11. TRAILSEEKERSERIES.CO.ZA

MARATHON & HALF MARATHON The first 10km will be easy and fast riding to split the racing snakes, then no less than 15 sections of single track will be ridden before the finish. From here single tracks will be aplenty with names such as Houtkappers, DigBos, Dam run and Nick Nacks riders will be entertained. There are some steep climbs and rocky sections to make up a great ride.

The tar road between Boschendal and Pniel have to be crossed enabling riding on Boschendal, where the second biggest climb of the day is situated. The marathon will be criss-crossing the whole of Banhoek valley and Boschendal while the half marathon will remain on Banhoek side of the tar road. The grand finale for the Marathon riders is Bartinney Skyfall, with an awesome 2.5km of winding single track downhill delight with about 20 berms to negotiate. These exclusive paths are normally off limits to the public.

The terrain is made up of mountainous roads, steep climbs and spectacular scenery.
