Table Mountain Challenge
The Table Mountain Challenge is a 37 km mountain trail run annually clockwise around Table Mountain and Devil's Peak, South Africa and consisting mostly of single track with a few km of jeep track. The trail involves a lot of scrambling, passing through indigenous forest and crossing mountain streams, steep slopes of fynbos and spectacular views.
The route starts at Kloof Nek, runs below Tafelberg Road via Deer Park to the path below the Blockhouse on Devil's Peak. From there a contour path leads to Constantia Nek, passing above Kirstenbosch, cutting through Orange Kloof to Myburgs Path, on to Suikerbossie and up Llandudno Corner, over the top of the Twelve Apostles to Kasteelspoort, down the Pipe Track and back to Kloof Nek.
