Our 3rd and final day of the Karkloof Training camp started at the magnificent sawmill of Benvie gardens. This is where our 50 miler race starts and marks the halfway point for our 100 miler runners.
The section through the Benvie forests and Mbona private nature reserve makes for some of the finest trail running in South Africa. Just ask our training camp runners!
