The ROCK MARATHON 44km
The Rock 44 is where runners start digging deeper. A full marathon distance across the granite slopes of Paarl Mountain, the route is designed to test trail legs and reward those who move well through the terrain.
With a mix of sustained climbs, flowing descents, and fast mountain tracks, this is a proper challenge for anyone with a love for running in a natural mountain environment.
Die Rock 44 is waar hardlopers begin om dieper te delf. ’n Volle maratonafstand oor die graniethellings van Paarlberg, ontwerp om veldbene te toets en dié te beloon wat goed deur die terrein kan beweeg.
Met ’n mengsel van volgehoue opdraandes, vloeiende afdraandes en vinnige bergpaadjies is dit ’n ware uitdaging vir enigiemand met ’n liefde vir hardloop in ’n natuurlike bergomgewing.
