Witteberg Mountain Challenge
Witteberg Mountain Challenge | 26 September 2026
Your Race. Your Pace. Make It Yours.
WMC isn’t your average trail run.
This is where grit meets gradient, and runners find themselves somewhere between the clouds and the soul of the Eastern Cape.
Tucked into the dramatic Witteberg mountains, starting at the Lady Grey Country Club, this is a race that gives as much as it takes.
You’ll run hard, climb higher — and then get wrapped in the small-town warmth only Lady Grey can offer.
⸻
What to Expect:
• Raw mountain trails with views worth every uphill
• Proper Eastern Cape vibes — think local food stalls, live music, and lekker people
• Kids’ entertainment so the whole family can enjoy the day
• A Friday night welcome with food, firelight, and a few race nerves
