Hi Trailers
Next weekend the mountain will be crawling with UTCT runners on all sides, so I've tried to find a spot where we won't be in the way but might catch a glimpse as they fly past.
We will park at the Striped Horse in York Road Muizenberg, go up the stairs to Pecks Valley and explore Silvermine from there. As we're close to the beach, we can swim and enjoy coffee after the run
Route
From the Striped Horse parking, we go up Camp Road and climb the stairs to Boyes Drive and go through the Hole in the Wall. After going up Peck's Valley, we turn right at the junction to go up to Muizenberg Peak and enjoy the view. We turn left at the Peak and descend down to the jeep track. After running along the fence of the installation we turn right up the single track to go up Higher Steenberg Peak and descend to meet the jeep track near Entrance Gate 2. We turn left and jog along the jeep track crossing above the waterfall and turn left up the Fisherman's Path. At the jeep track we turn left and do some more jeep track jogging to the jeep track junction where we carry on straight on the single track that goes down Mimetes Valley. We go down towards Baley's Kloof but take the left turn that will bring us back to the start of Peck's Valley and trot home.
Rendezvous and start time
Meet at the Striped Horse parking at 6h20 ready to start at 6h30

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.
