TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS - SATURDAY 2 JULY 2022: Devil's Peak

Hi Trailers

This Saturday we will circumnavigate that big rock to the left of Table Mountain

Route

We park at Newlands parking area (near the helicopters).  We go up behind the helicopters and go up…  To the turnstile, past the King's blockhouse, up Mowbray ridge to the top contour.  There are some options from the blockhouse…  Instead of going up Mowbray, you can turn right and do the lower contour, or go up Mowbray and do the middle contour, or come with us and do the top contour.  We then go around the front of Devil's peak – high up with lovely views, and end up at that little saddle where we go up to the top of the Devil.  Then down to the top of Newlands Ravine and back to the cars.

There will be a relaxed group doing a less demanding Newlands meander

Rendezvous and start time

Meet at Newland parking area to be ready to run at 7h30am.

Terrain & Distance

There will be some jeep track to start, then lots of single track and climbs and descents.  About 10km, but do not be fooled, it is a tough 10km and is not quick.

What to bring 

Water, whistlea space blanket and your ICE information. The weather can be different up on the mountain. Please come prepared for wind, mist, sun or rain!

Please check the weather before you set off from home and pack the appropriate waterproof/warm gear.

Please note that TMT unfortunately does not allow dogs on its runs.

Please be aware that our runs operate under the modified COVID protocols

  • All runners to carry a mask or buff
  • Practice social distancing
  • Please carry emergency contact numbers in your bag or on your wrist/shoe
  • If you have any symptoms or have been in contact with anyone with symptoms, please stay at home

Warning:  Trail running is inherently more dangerous than road running.  It may take place over uneven hazard strewn trails in exposed and often remote terrain where help is not always readily available.

Participation is voluntary and entirely at your own risk as although the organizers take reasonable precautions to ensure runner safety, it cannot be guaranteed.  To this end neither the Club nor the organisers personally can be held liable for any claims relating to inter alia, injuries, disabilities and death. Further any minor child participating in any trail running activity will be deemed to be doing so with the consent of his or her guardian.

 By starting out on a trail run you explicitly acknowledge that: 

1] you understand the associated risks involved and accept full responsibility for your own safety. 

2] you are medically and physically fit to participate and 

3] are carrying the necessary water, clothing and safety equipment required for the particular run.
