GARDEN ROUTE NEWS - The Oyster Catcher Trail Run is primarily designed for trail runners looking to complete their first multi-day stage race. So if you are ready to push the limits and embrace the thrill of a multi-day adventure, this is definitely for you.
The event isn't for the faint-hearted and will entertain trailblazers hungry for their first stage race. The race follows the famous Oystercatcher hiking trail from Gouritz River Mouth to Mossel Bay via the St Blaize hiking route along the Southern Cape coastline.
The distances covered are manageable and the terrain is mainly single track (hiking trails) and beach running, with some technical areas to add variety.

It has challenging technical sections to test your agility and pristine beaches you can give your feet free rein with the ocean as your backdrop.

The two-day race on 12 and 13 October takes athletes on a 15km route between Gouritz and Boggomsbaai on day one, and a 16km route from Dana Bay to The Point in Mossel Bay on day two.
