DEVELOPMENT RUNNERS
RMB Ultra-trail Cape Town® will contribute financially to developing trail running for disadvantaged communities and fostering the next group of elite runners. We have created the platform to expose talent from South Africa to the best trail runners and events in the world. We will offer up to 30 entries per year and will manage the process of booking transport and accommodation for the runners.
