TRAIL RUNNING
At the beginning of July I found myself in the lowveld , tackling the steep slopes of Mariepskop in the Kruger2Canyon Challenge trail run and marvelling at the incredible views while trying to convince my legs that it was worth the climb ... and talk them into a second day of running to follow . With good friends for company , spectacular scenery as incentive and few heart-stopping moments courtesy of the local wildlife , this was a true trail adventure . – BY STEFANO MIGLIORE
