UTCT
THE FLAGSHIP 100-MILER ROUTE, WITH 7516M ELEVATION GAIN, VENTURES FROM THE NORTHERN MOUNTAIN RANGE OF THE MOTHER CITY TO THE MORE REMOTE SOUTHERN MOUNTAIN, TAKING IN ADDITIONAL TRAILS FROM SILVERMINE TO KALK BAY, SIMON'S TOWN, KOMMETJIE AND NOORDHOEK.
UTCT 100MILE
The 100-miler route ventures from the northern mountain range of the Mother City to the southern mountains and along the Indian and Atlantic coastline.
It's a journey that takes runners through varied terrain along the course, as well as pockets of different communities and experiences, with excited energy heading up Kloof Corner, the coastal calm in the Deep South suburbs, and the fanfare at Alphen Trail.
The final climb of the day takes runners from the University of Cape Town up to the King's Blockhouse before the contour path winds back down to the finish, where a warm welcome awaits after completing 100 miles on Cape Town Trails.
UTCT SPECIAL RACE MEDAL
THE HONEY BADGER MEDAL
COMPLETE UTCT IN 30 HOURS
Granted to those who finish UTCT in under 30 hours, the Honey Badger symbolises the grit and mettle it takes to run the 100-mile course within the time frame. There have been only 25 people to have achieved this time before, with just 4 people that have repeated the achievement.
PACING
Running an ultra can be a long solo - and at times lonely - day. Sometimes company is the key that can help motivate to keep going. The UTCT 100M Pacing Zone is the section of the course that UTCT 100M runners are allowed a friend to keep them company, a stretch of 105.7km, extended further than ever before.
The Pacing Zone runs from Llandudno Aid Station to Alphen Aid Station. A maximum of three pacers are allowed on to pace the runner, with one pacer at any given time.
There are seven Pick-Up Pacing Points (including Llandudno) where pacers can drop in and out.
