5 August 2023: Merrell Whale of Trail 53km and 35km

Treat yourself to a premier race event this year.

South Africa’s iconic five-day Whale Trail hiking route is offered as a challenge to runners capable of embracing all 53km and 1900m elevation as a TRAIL RUNNING ULTRA, packed with spectacular mountain fynbos, technical rocky ridgelines, sandy beach stretches and endless, mind-blowing, beautiful vistas all in one day.

The Merrell Whale of Trail event is the only opportunity each year for a limited number of nature-loving athletes to run hard on this trail while treading lightly on the earth.
