The Rock Ultra Paarl

The Rock Ultra returns on 5 & 6 December 2025, offering an unforgettable trail running experience across the iconic terrain of Paarl Mountain.

This year’s event features four distances:

THE KLIPPIE 5km Fun Run, supporting the Anna Foundation

THE BOULDER 22km

THE ROCK 44km

and the ultimate challenge — THE ROCK ULTRA 100km

For the first time, the 100km race starts at 7PM on Friday 5 December, running through the night with a cut-off at 8PM on Saturday.

While the venue for 2025 will be announced soon, all routes promise challenging climbs, flowing descents, and breathtaking views of granite outcrops and rugged fynbos-covered mountain.

Whether you're tackling 5km for a cause or 100km for glory, The Rock Ultra offers a unique blend of natural beauty, community spirit, and pure trail adventure.
