For the next 28km there is a wide variety of terrain including forests, fast flat trail, rolling hills and lakeside running. This section is followed by a long and fast 19km descent down the Khanti Ridge to the waterfall below Premier Resort Sani Pass, where runners will have the option of picking up their pacers.įrom the waterfall, it’s the short and sharp climb up the Stromness before the runners turn inland into some of South Africa’s most beautiful farming country.
The climb to the summit of the Sani Pass includes just over 1,000m of vertical climb in the first 8km and the runners top out on the escarpment with the sunrise at 2,865m. Runners then plunge back down the Sani Pass and into the trail which traverses the Twelve Apostles for 6km. The first 13km of the race is on the dirt road of Sani Pass which allows the field to spread out before the athletes drop into the first long 25km section of mountain trail.
The Race Start is at the South African Border Post on the Sani Pass road at 05h00 on Saturday morning, 29th April. Ultra-Trail® Drakensberg 100 (UTD100) is 100km in length with 4,158m of vertical climb and occupies an altitude window between 1600m and 2865m.
