TRAIL RUNNING
Mad About the Traverse
As a spectator at the Rhodes Dryland Traverse in 2021 , I could already see why it is considered an aspirational , must-do , bucket-list event by many in the South African trail running community , and having ‘ graduated ’ to stage racing during 2022 , I jumped at the opportunity to run it myself this past November . It turned out to be a wonderful running experience , in spite of a few challenges my side , and left me wanting more of the Swartberg trails , awesome vibe and banana bread !
