About the Event

The Oyster Catcher Stage Trail Run takes runners along the renowned Oyster Catcher hiking route, stretching from the Gouritz River Mouth to Mossel Bay via the St Blaize hiking trail along South Africa’s stunning Southern Cape coastline in the Garden Route. Recognized globally, the Oyster Catcher trail is a lighthouse-to-lighthouse journey. National Geographic Traveller has rated it among the “Top 50 tours of a lifetime,” while the BBC lists it as one of the “30 Unforgettable hikes to do…” and Getaway Magazine names it among South Africa’s top 5 hiking routes. Designed for trail runners eager to tackle their first multi-day stage race, this trail run offers manageable distances along single-track hiking trails and beach stretches, with some technical sections for added challenge. Due to the area’s environmental sensitivity, entries are capped at 300 runners each year—so don’t miss your chance!
