The Southern Storm
Length: 0 miles
Location: Garden Route National Park
What is the Southern Storm?
The Southern Storm is a full-service Duathlon set in the spectacular Garden Route within the soon-to-be-declared Garden Route National Park. The Southern Storm will be based on an off-road style duathlon of mountain biking and trail running with short sections of kloofing. The event will start at Tsitsikamma and over a period of 5 days, weave its course through one of South Africa’s iconic hiking trails- the Otter Trail, along spectacular coastlines, through indigenous forests, into deep ravines, over majestic mountains and across open savannas, finishing in the Wilderness National Park. Participants will overnight at stunningly beautiful campsites en route.
Each day will dawn with new challenges of strenuous single track riding, concentration-commanding trail runs, breath-taking gorge traverses, magnificent river crossings and demanding uphill scrambles.
The inaugural Southern Storm has limited entries so make sure you don’t miss out!
