The Kromrivier BEAST

May 6, 2023

This is a tough event for Cederberg and Mountain lovers. For the discerning trail runner who enjoys adventure and wilderness. You need to be self-sufficient, there is no pampering other than endless panoramic views. A skyline trail around the amphitheater of the Kromrivier Valley.

The highest point of the trail is Donkerkloof Peak is at 1750 meters. Looking north you can see Sneeuberg, the highest summit in the Cederberg. The route traverses 6 Peaks, and each must be reached within a Cut off time, or you will be short-coursed down the Valley.

But, we are generous and if you can hike fast, maintaining a reasonable tempo, you will enjoy a thrilling day out. The total distance is 42km, and the elevation gains a very pleasant 2100m – we start at 1000m, at Kromrivier Farm.
