TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS Next run Sat 4th July Kloofek, India Venster

 

Hi Trailers


Weather permitting, this week we will be heading up Table Mountain via the India Venster Route (with alternatives)

 

Please note that this route has some rock scrambling and some scary bits, so if unsure, don’t worry - we’ve got you with an alternative route (maybe a run in Deer Park)


Route

The start is more of a hike, going up the steps to the contour and then going left to join the India Venster trail under the cableway. The route will then go up India Venster, followed by a run at the top and down Diagonal and back to the cars via the Pipe track.

Alternate route

This will probably be a run in deer park – aiming at 12 km and about 2h30

Rendezvous and start time

RV in the Kloofnek/Sanparks parking area at the start of Tafelberg Rd ready to start running  at 07:30

 

Directions to start:          https://maps.app.goo.gl/YutgXg9r8eRXrHkg7

 

Terrain and distance

Some steep climbs, rock scrambling and some runnable parts
The India Venster route is likely to be a longer time out – so please be prepared for this

Groups
This is a pack run with regular regroups, we may split into speed groups

Dogs
Please note that  Totalsports VOB club rules do not permit dogs on our runs.

What to bring
Water, whistle, warm/windproof top depending on weather, space blanket, ICE ID - either on your phone, bracelet/tag, card in your backpack.

Important: Please remember to look behind you at every turn in the route to make sure the people behind you see which way you are going.   
Leaders of each group will ensure that no-one is left behind. Please keep the groups together and ensure that no-one is left on their own.


Have a good week

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.
