Nedbank Save The Rhino Trail Run

Bruce Viaene / 05.07.2013

As you run, you leave behind a footprint amongst the animal prints that have gone before you -- there is something special, even magical, about sharing a route with Africa's wildest!

This race is held at the Legend Entabeni Safari Lodge in Limpopo and is home to the magnificent Big 5. Entabeni is aptly named -- meaning the place of the mountain in the local language. Covering more than 22 000 hectares of bushveld, ravines, savannah, sandy wetlands, wooded hills and mountainous ridges there are few, if any, races in South Africa that bring such diversity to trail runners.

After accommodation & meals deductions for the Venue, 100% of the entry fee will go towards the WWF Nedbank Green Trust Rhino Programme's Rhinos and Community Project, which is running outside the Kruger National Park and working with the communities outside major rhino areas to reduce rhino poaching.

The majority of rhinos in South Africa are in the Kruger Park and that's where most of the poaching has happened. Lions will be watched by Game Rangers 24hrs before the events and during the races - ensuring peace of mind as tackle the route.
