PENINSULA TRAVERSE 55KM

A coastal start at Llandudno offers some of the technical terrain that UTCT and UT100 experience.  

 

With a sharp ascent up Suther Peak in the first 10km, strong climbers are put in good stead before heading to Manganese Mines and Vlakkenberg before winding down to the Alphen Trail, a key Aid Station where runners enjoy the celebrations of supporters and spectators cheering them onto the last 20km.  

 

Back through Cecilia Forest and Newlands Forest, experience the fast flowing trails before hitting University of Cape Town Aid Station and the climb up to the King's Blockhouse. The final stretch along the contour leads runners back to the Garden's Rugby Club Race Village.
