RUNNER ’ S HIGH
CHASING Chasing Clouds CLOUDS
Where : Witteberg Mountains near Lady Grey , Eastern Cape
Event : K-Way SkyRun Photographer : Wayne Reiche Date : 17 November 2023
The Experience : The Kway Skyrun is not for the faint of heart . With a course that traverses remote and rugged landscapes of the Drakensberg Mountains , participants face steep ascents , technical descents , and unpredictable weather conditions . The main event is the 100km selfsupported , self-navigational race , which demands an extraordinary level of physical and mental resilience , as you carry all of your gear , there are no predetermined routes or markers , and you run at an altitude of 2500m ... sometimes above the clouds !
