Southern Cross 3-Day Trailrun

The SOX Trail Run is celebrated as South Africa's most diverse 3-day trail run, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Garden Route. With 90% of the course traversing the protected property of the South Africa National Park, this event offers participants a rare opportunity to explore some of the most pristine and isolated landscapes on the continent.

Each day presents a unique adventure:

Day 1: A 30-kilometer journey through the unspoiled single tracks of the Outeniqua Mountains, offering stunning views of lush forests and the distant ocean.
Day 2: A circular 27-kilometer route through the Goudveld and Millwood State Forests. This section, with its 1,147 meters of elevation gain, challenges runners with undulating terrain amidst the tranquility of indigenous woodlands.
Day 3: The grand finale takes runners on a 16-kilometer coastal route. Beginning on Kleinkrantz Beach, it features a breathtaking stretch along the Wilderness coastline before moving inland through forest trails, culminating at the Fairy Knowe Hotel.
This event is more than a race—it's an exclusive, VIP-style journey through the Garden Route’s diverse terrains, showcasing its mountains, forests, and coastal beauty. Held in one of South Africa's premier tourist destinations, the SOX Trail Run offers an unforgettable experience for runners seeking both challenge and awe-inspiring scenery.
