Date confirmed - Entries opening soon!! 

The Num-Num Trail Challenge is a rugged mountain running event set in South Africa’s scenic Highveld escarpment. Run on the Escarp Adventures property the course features steep, technical climbs and descents, narrow single-track trails weaving through rocky outcrops, indigenous forest patches, and open grasslands. The terrain is challenging, demanding both focus and stamina as runners navigate roots, rocks, and uneven ground.

Since its inception, the event has grown into a respected test of endurance and skill, attracting trail runners who seek a pure, no-frills mountain running experience away from crowded races. With limited entries and an emphasis on the raw beauty and difficulty of the course, Num-Num offers a true connection to the wilderness and a chance to push your limits.
