The 3222m Challenge Stage Trail Run is hands down the biggest challenge of endurance. This experience presents you with multiple trail run options in the beautiful Maluti Mountains.

The Main Challenge: 50km
The Main Challenge, which consists of a total of 50km of trail running, will kick off the event. Saturday morning opens with a 35km trail run down the infamous Black Mountain Pass: a network of shepherd paths, river crossings and some spectacular scenery. The trail descends down to the Malibamatso River where you will start your ascent back to Afriski along Goldilocks, a fast-flowing mountain bike trail, until you once again reach 3222m and start your descent into the Resort to finish at Sky Restaurant. On Sunday another trail run of 15km awaits. This time, you’ll stay on the shepherd trails surrounding Afriski. These paths meander through the mountain tops and occasionally drop into the valleys with a few river crossings along the way.

The Midway Challenge: 25km
The Midway Challenge consists of a total of 25km of trail running. This experience will kick off on the Saturday with a 10km trail run and on Sunday you’ll finish off your trip with another trail run of 15km. The routes follow a network of shepherd trails surrounding Afriski and meanders through the mountain tops, occasionally dropping into the valleys with a few river crossings along the way.

The 3222 Mini Challenge: 15km
The 3222 Mini Challenge is aimed at our newcomers who would like to get their toes wet in the sport of trail running, but without having to cover the intense distances. This run covers a total of 15km, with the first 10km trail run on the Saturday and the final cool down 5km trail run on the Sunday. The Mini Challenge also makes for a wonderful walk for the whole family wanting to spend time in the outdoors.
