Lake Eland Extreme Trail Run

Lake Eland Game Reserve

Sunday, 12 July 2026

The Lake Eland Extreme Trail Run is built for fast, exhilarating racing, offering 12.5km, 25km, and 50km routes tailored to every fitness level.

Running - the purest form of exercise since the beginning of time for both hunter and prey, the lion and the gazelle. 

And what could be better, more natural and more exhilarating than running in nature, amongst herds of various animals born to run like the wind? 

 

Whilst the countless herds of various buck, zebras and giraffe at Lake Eland Game Reserve are not hunted by any natural predators, they can still be seen constantly running purely for the joy of it. We invite you to join them on the very paths they run, for a testing but exhilarating series of laps raced throughout the day.
