This event entails summitting 6 of George's most popular peaks in one day, and moving on foot between the various peaks from the start to the finish.
The George 6 Peaks FKT-
Started as a pipe-dream between two friends having a few beers after running the Knysna Marathon. Fast forward a few months, the idea was casually mentioned again over a breakfast: "let me know when", followed by "how about Monday?" and without thinking too much, a commitment was made to tackle it 3 days later, on a Christmas day, 2017.

After the first attempt, we were awestruck by the day’s achievement. We knew it was possible (judging from the stats on paper) but what we didn’t know was how possible. Having such an amazing experience we wanted to share it with people. We made a pact to run it every year at least once. Be it to try and set a new time or simply just paying our respect to the mountains, “Trail running tax” if you will. Only this time, we invite as many people as possible. After the second year’s attempt we wanted to grow the concept even more and so the beginning of the George 6 Peaks FKT. We later introduced the George 2 Peaks FKT and launched the George FKT’S which includes a number of FKT’S in the Garden Route area. The first double 6 Peaks have been completed by Jacques and Eddie Mouton, rules have been set and a double 6 Peak can now be attempted by anyone! The story continues...
