The very popular Battle Up Blaauwberg
Trail Run normally occurs in Spring every year. It is organised in partnership with the City of Cape Town and
a local running club.
With views of Table Mountain,
Robben Island and Table Bay, participants can normally choose between a shorter (eg
10 km) and longer (eg
17km) routes over Blaauwberg
Hill and Kleinberg, through the colourful
spring vegetation within the nature reserve. The route is a mixture of
jeep track, sand and hiking trail with some single file and climbing areas
– ideal as an entry level run into trail running.
