This unique race takes participants from the Gouritz River Mouth to Mossel Bay, following the scenic St Blaize hiking trail within the iconic Garden Route. The Oyster Catcher trail, renowned worldwide, offers a remarkable lighthouse-to-lighthouse experience. Esteemed by National Geographic Traveller as one of the “Top 50 tours of a lifetime,” highlighted by the BBC as one of the “30 Unforgettable hikes to do…,” and praised by Getaway Magazine as one of South Africa’s top 5 hiking routes, this trail offers a memorable adventure. Perfect for trail runners eager to embrace their first multi-day stage race, this event presents manageable distances along single-track trails and beach paths, with some technical sections to enhance the challenge.

Kurs-Highlights

Names like the Gourikwa Nature Reserve, Boggomsbaai, Vleesbaai and the St Blaize hiking trail are places you may never have heard of, while Mossel Bay, the Garden Route and Gouritz River Mouth are place names you are more likely to be familiar with on the South African map, running along breath-taking beaches, dunes, cliffs and fynbos (natural shrubland vegetation unique to South Africa). It is in this area that the Oyster Catcher trail run takes place, over three days. The trail run took runners along some of the most spectacular coastlines the country has to offer with a variety of raptors, smaller birdlife and marine species as inhabitants, including the famous and vulnerable African Black Oyster Catcher. These waders are found in the area, giving the route its name and was until recently on the endangered species list. Part of the initiative of this run is to re-kindle the runners with nature and create awareness to the plight of the species, as well as educate visitors to preserve the fragile ecosystem. - Day 1 Kanon to Boggomsbaai Golf Club 15km - Day 2 Dana Bay to The Point, Mossel Bay 16km Day one took the runners along a 20km circular route into the Gourikwa Private Nature Reserve where they ran past the towering Ystervarkpunt (Porcupine point) lighthouse, on mainly coastal and jeep tracks. Day two brought some more technical areas over another 20km with runners starting at Gouritz River Mouth, on the opposite side of the river, ending in Boggemsbaai. On the final day, the route wrapped around the cliffs of the St Blaize hiking trail in Mossel Bay, starting at Dana Bay beach to The Point, Mossel Bay. The route passes the Pinnacle Point Caves where recent Mitochondrial DNA research has shown that all humans alive today descend from a small population that lived here between 150,000 and 200,000 years ago. New archaeological research has revealed that at least some of those people lived in the area now known as Mossel Bay.
