Rendezvous and Start Time
RV in the beach parking lot at the bottom of Chapman's Peak Drive in Hout Bay, outside The Beach Cafe, ready to start at 07h30.

Route
A few different options – which can be decided on the day by the leader of the group.  Some options are: 

Option 1:  See attached PDF.   From the beach parking area we run up Chapman's Peak Drive to East Fort then we go off-road and take the gravel track for a steady climb on the lower path across to Blackburn Ravine followed by a single track scenic traverse along the escarpment overlooking Hout Bay to Lower Chapman's Peak.   From the saddle, we return by the climb down to Chapman's Peak Drive and a jog back on the tar to the start.

Option 2: Do the higher single track and join the lower track and continue as Option 1

Option 3:  Do the run as an out an back option and miss the tar section

Added Bonus: - for those that need some extra  – ascend Chapmans peak from the saddle, tag the peak and return to join the rest back to the start

Terrain and Distance
The start is along the tarred road for about a kilometer, then we turn off to the left and head up to East Fort. Then mostly single mountainside trail before returning down Chapman's Peak Drive. Some good climbs off set by spectacular views of Hout Bay harbour and the Sentinel.

Altogether about 12kms, a good 380m of ascent, which should take more or less 2 hours 15 minutes.
 
Dogs
Please note that K-Way VOB club rules do not permit dogs on our runs.

What to bring
Water, whistle, warm/windproof top depending on weather.

Have a good week.

Warning:  Trail running is inherently more dangerous than road running.  It takes 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.
