Oyster Catcher Trail Run

Nestled along South Africa's breathtaking Southern Cape coastline within the Garden Route lies the Oyster Catcher Stage Trail Run. This unique multi-day race invites trail enthusiasts to traverse one of the world’s most celebrated hiking routes, recognized by National Geographic Traveller as part of their “Top 50 tours of a lifetime” and named among the BBC’s "30 Unforgettable hikes." The route stretches from the Gouritz River Mouth through Mossel Bay via the scenic St Blaize trail.
Runners will embark on an unforgettable journey, connecting two historic lighthouses while navigating both single-track trails and pristine beachfronts. Each day presents a new challenge with manageable distances designed to accommodate runners of varying experience levels. The terrain includes technical sections that test one's skills and offer breathtaking views at every turn.
With only 300 spots available annually due to the region’s delicate ecosystem, this race offers an exclusive opportunity for participants to immerse themselves in nature while supporting conservation efforts along the way. Experience the magic of South Africa’s Southern Cape as you explore its rugged beauty during a trail run that promises adventure and awe at every step.
