Old Fisherman's Trail Challenge

🔥 Running for a cause that protects the trails we love 🔥
We're proud to have Volunteer Wildfire Services as the charity partner of this year's run next week Sunday, 14 June.
While wildfires may not be top of mind during winter, the dedicated VWS volunteers work year-round to protect the mountains, fynbos and communities that make the Cape so special.
By taking part in OFTC, you're helping support an organisation that makes a real difference.
