If you have been wanting to find your running freedom, I’ve discovered just the event for you. The Molweni 2-day Trail Run, presented by SALOMON and organised by 369 Communications, comes packaged as a Prologue + Monster Day, very much following the successful recipe set by the Otter African Trail Run.

Eye-bleedingly beautiful natural scenery, an exceptionally challenging route and – I have to say – a world-class organisational team make this an event which will surely grow into one of SA’s favourite trail races.

I was fortunate enough to first scout and then run the Prologue Route with Graham Daniel and his crew today, and I can honestly say I suffered when I tried to crank up the speed on the second loop. With guys like Thabang Elias Madiba, Kane Reilly, Jock Green and Lucky Miya all in the mix, tomorrow is going to make for an interesting duel.

Also nice to bump into a whole bunch of familiar (and new) faces … Ryno Griesel, Fernando Santos et al, see you all on the trail in the morning!
