What Makes It Great

A 100km point-to-point traverse of the Southern Drakensberg, starting at Silverstreams and following the full length of the Giant's Cup Trail — one of South Africa's most revered hiking paths — before ascending the iconic Sani Pass and crossing the 12 Apostles Traverse and Khanti Ridge to the finish at Premier Resort Sani Pass. The route blends flowing singletrack through the foothill valleys with a demanding mountain pass climb and dramatic ridgeline running.
