I would go with Sky Run for that title, but I most certainly don't know all SA's trail runs and have run exactly 0 of them.

Thanks Mark, I have registered :woohoo:

Now to continue training and shoot for that 9 hour time. Got a personal best on Park Run last weekend (well, it would be slow for most people, but it was a good time for me), so I guess there is some progress...

Who else is doing it this year?

Got my entry in yesterday too, at R180 this must be the best value for money race I can think of.. I know Mutter is usually around that price too. WarrenM and his wife also have entries for Mnweni, it's his fault that I am going...

My wife and I have both entered. Dave you are right, R180 is ridiculously cheap compared to what you pay for a lot of other races, especially trail runs.

Have also entered and will run with my 2 twin daughters....at 60 this might be one of my last extreme challenges in life! Elinda is coming to be the photographer and capture the action especially on the last stretch of road from the usual drop off point where we will all look as fresh as daisys :whistle:
