Hi Trailers
Next week we will explore a new route for trailers in Cape Point – starting at Gifkommetjie (13km) or Platboom (17km) and running back to the entrance gate on the Hiking Trail route. Car admin is involved.
We will park just after the entrance gate and jump into one or 2 cars and drive to Gifkommetjie or Platboom for those who want a longer route.
Entrance fee – R100 SA citizens (card/no cash) , green card, wildcard
Route
From the start at Gifkommetjie/Platboom we run on the trail along the coast turning inland about 1,5 km past Gifkommetjie and running to Sirkelsvlei. We go straight past Sirkelsvlei and run to the Olifantsbos tar road. We cross that and go up to Rooihoogte and down to the gate. Walkers can either do the Gifkommetjie loop or start at the gate and walk to Sirkelsvlei and back.
Rendezvous and start time
The Gate opens at 6am officially. We will meet there as close to 6am as possible for briefing and then drive to the start venues. We will try and start as close to 6h30 – 6h45 as possible. Please be early to avoid a long queue
There is no reception so we won't know if you're running late
Terrain & Distance
Mostly single track. Distances estimated.
- The Gifkommetjie run is around 13km
- The Platboom run is around 17km
- The out and back to Sirkelsvlei from the gate is around 10km
What to bring

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.
