The Otter Challenge on Wednesday and Thursday, October 25 and 26 2017, and the Otter Run on Friday and Saturday, October 27 and 28 2017.
200 Places are available for each event. The event organisers reserved 40 entries for overseas participants and sponsor invited athletes.
The Otter Run demands participants to negotiate the beautiful, but brutal five day Otter hiking trail in just a few hours.
The allure of this trail run, however, not only lies in it being considered a true test of trail running ability over the marathon distance, but perhaps also in the element that the trail is off limits to all trail runners outside of this event leading some to name it the “forbidden run”.
But don’t think it is a walk in the park. Otter Challenge athletes have no other advantage than a little bit more time – the trail starts and finishes at the same points as the Otter Run, it covers exactly the same distance and the same gain in altitude.
