UTCT 55km 2022

Starting in Llandudno, the route takes runners through Sandy Bay, Rocket Road and the climb to Suther Peak following the long flowing descent from Karbonkelberg to Hout Bay. Leaving the Hout Bay Aid Station you will climb the trails up to Manganese Mines and across the contour to descend via Vlakkenberg moving through De Hel through to the Alphen Trail Aid Station, taking in the vineyards and beautiful greenbelts of Constantia. From here it is a slow climb up to the technical sections of Cecilia and Newlands Forests followed by a steep drop down into the University of Cape Town's upper campus. The final 10km requires digging deep with an intense climb to get up to the Blockhouse and lower traverse of Devil’s Peak. Reaching it marks the home stretch, with the reward of incredible views of the City, the Atlantic Ocean, Table Mountain and Lion’s Head. Follow me on Instagram:  / jesse_seb
