Road running and trail running. They're the same sport, but also, they're not.
Kit, cost, blood, attitude. Read about it here. And then challenge a road running friend to join you on the trail 😁

TRAIL RUNNING VS. ROAD RUNNING Ever since I fell in love with trail running all those years ago, I never understood how every road runner who set foot on a trail was not immediately converted and never looked back. How to beat the thrill of single-track trail through spectacular natural environments...

Trail running. Things we don't tell the road runners: sometimes there's no running, sometimes we use our hands!

Marked route vs GPS navigated route?
Klipspringer Challenge 2027
Both Lite & Challenge routes are fully marked.
BUT the number of races that require GPS navigation is increasing.
Which is better? It's an old question with no definitive answer. BUT it's important to be aware that you do NOT need a dedicated watch or device to follow a set GPS track, you can comfortably navigate using a smart phone. CAUTION: the one thing you need to take into account if navigating using a smart phone is battery life, and it is strongly recommended to carry a power bank to recharge.

Follow the markers in Augrabies Falls National Park on 24 & 25 April 2027 🎀
Challenge 33km + 32km / Lite 22km + 18km
