Miler Route Recce Runs
Come join us on sections of the infamous MUT Miler Route
We will be hosting Recce Runs on the MUT Miler route for athletes to prepare and to get an essence of the special route. We have specifically chosen the start locations to create a vibe pre and post run. Join us the night before or just for some beers afterwards.

This 10km point-to-point trail marks the heritage of the Outeniqua as it is the path that our forefathers used to access this beautiful valley, connecting the Little Karoo to the slopes of George peak and the scenery that surrounds them.

In this run, we will be starting from an essential aid station within the Miler route as it is normally the last station one would go through before experiencing the first full night out in the mountains. We will be running a small section through the wine farm and tagging Keurkop, a well known peak amongst the locals and past Miler athletes. Returning using the Campherskloof trail, the athletes will have a view of the Little Karoo and Herold region. The Short Loop will not be going as far or as high, but will still experience a small part of the route.

In this run, we do an out-and-back on the popular Kingfisher trail to the waterfall and back. Using the Bosduif trail, we join onto Whites Road which takes us into the village, the heart of Wilderness. Like the Miler course, we use a tunnel to go under the highway and to run a few kilometers on the Wilderness beach. The road next to the Wilderness Lagoon then takes us back to our start where we will have beer and good vibes afterwards.

Self Sufficiency
You are expected to be self sufficient in the mountain, carry everything you will need to spend up to 6 hours out there. It is summer so plan to have enough water and food with you. There will be no waterpoints or aid along the route. The route will not be marked as these are social runs. Runners are to refer to the GPX files and route descriptions above when determining their required personal amounts of resources.
