Following the route of one of South Africa’s most spectacular coastal trails, the Alexandria Trail Run is sure to provide an unforgettable trail running experience to every runner that takes part.
Ordinarily reserved for a maximum of 12 persons at any one time, this is a unique opportunity to be among a select group of people lucky enough to experience running on one of South Africa’s hidden trail treasures.
Set in the Woody Cape section of Addo Elephant National Park, this bucket-list trail run takes you from twisting singletrack through lush dune forests to the vast, windswept sands of the Alexandria dune field.
