The BOULDER LITE 12km

The Boulder Lite 12 is an accessible and rewarding introduction to The Rock Ultra experience. Starting from the Taal Monument, this route offers a balanced taste of Paarl Mountain without the demands of the longer distances. 

Designed for newer trail runners and those looking for a shorter challenge, the route combines steady climbs, flowing descents, and scenic mountain paths through granite terrain and fynbos. 

It’s a chance to move freely, take in the landscape, and enjoy the mountain — all For the Love of Running. 

Die Boulder Lite 12 is ’n toeganklike en belonende bekendstelling tot The Rock Ultra-ervaring. Met ’n wegspring by die Taal Monument bied hierdie roete ’n gebalanseerde voorsmakie van Paarlberg sonder die eise van die langer afstande. 

Ontwerp vir nuwe veldhardlopers en dié wat ’n korter uitdaging soek, kombineer die roete geleidelike opdraandes, vloeiende afdraandes en skilderagtige bergpaadjies deur granietterrein en fynbos. 

Dit is ’n geleentheid om vry te beweeg, die omgewing te ervaar en die berg te geniet — alles For the Love of Running.
