Witteberg Mountain Challenge

Witteberg Mountain Challenge | 26 September 2026
Your Race. Your Pace. Make It Yours.
The Witteberg Mountain Challenge is not your typical trail run. It is where determination meets steep inclines, and participants find themselves amidst the clouds and the heart of the Eastern Cape. Nestled in the striking Witteberg mountains and commencing at the Lady Grey Country Club, this race is as rewarding as it is demanding. You'll push yourself, ascend higher, and then be embraced by the unique small-town charm that only Lady Grey can provide.
