Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a remarkable increase in people spending more time outdoors. From walking in green urban environments to hiking local trails right on our door steps, it’s been amazing to see people from all segments of society experiencing what nature has to offer and enjoying the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.


Salomon as an outdoor brand, would like to contribute to the continued momentum of this activity by hosting a series of hikes around the country aimed at encouraging people to gain more confidence through educating them on where to go, how to do it and what they need to get started.


Salomon Hike Club will kick off in early October with a selection of morning and afternoon activations around the country.

Due to COVID-19 protocols, numbers will be limited.

Your entry fee will cover your park fee for the day, with the remainder going towards the NPO’s who we support.

A new enjoyable route, minus the cows of course;) it was another hot year in the karkloof area. Overall I had a good run, a bit warm for me but soldiered on. Thanks to Karkloof Trail Series for hosting the event. Was great to get back to some normality and see everyone again.

Can't wait for this weekend! Bring on karkloof 100 miler

UTD 100+ miler in 3 weeks, the below is the route... I'm excited and a little nervous, its gonna be a great adventure Trails & Ultrarunning

And just like that it's over!, had an amazing time out there on the trails!.. the plan well there wasn't really one.. this was my long training run for Ultra-Trail® Drakensberg 2021 my main event for the year. That's the plan ;)

The event had 75 odd people and it was really great to see some familiar faces!! It's been that long since a race happened... craziness.

I must say I battled with the first 30 odd ks. The trail snakes and then the walkers and everything I between. That many people on the lap didn't play in my favor. I said to Ocean "I'm sore"... smaller running stance etc.

We had an amazing "storm" nothing better than running in the rain and cold. After about 40ks there was about half the people and things started to look promising!

I could run the way I wanted to run 🏃‍♂️ the pains disappeared, however my friend cramp came to say hi at one point.

Wet, muddy trails... I saw my a** a few times ;) and at one point I thought I was in a dam... but it's not Trail Running if you ain't falling.

I just woke up and there are 7 people left in the race, it's been raining all night so the trails are going to be muddy.... ill have to go for a jog later to see for myself...

All in all a well organized event for Karkloof Trail Series everyone I've spoken too had a lot of fun, im sure there are going to be some people hobbling this am.

But we not done we going to continue to camp and support the runners, with a few beers of course...

End result 10 laps (planned /unplanned) and one extra as there was no power so I couldnt have a hot shower. My 11th sweeper/,cooldown lap ;)

Thanks to Andrew Booth, Jack and the KZN Trail Running crew it was a great race.
