The ROCK ULTRA
Route description: The Rock Ultra 100km course has the potential to make you forget how far you are running today. Starting along the same famous single tracks up to Paarl Mountain, ultra-runners will descend on the south-western side of Paarl Mountain to Spice Route and wind their way around the southern slopes below the Taal Monument to Laborie for the second spectators and supporters point. The big ascent from Laborie to Paarl Rock and Bretagne Rock is brutal but beautiful! The Meulwater aid station will be a welcome treat before ultra-runners head north towards Rhebokskloof's flow trails and the last spectators and supporters point before the final climb back to the Ridgeback Race village where celebration awaits!
INCLUDED IN THE ENTRY: Included in the entry fee: The Rock Ultra Goodybag, SPORTSA R500 voucher, 25% First Ascent discount voucher, SASH (www.sasportshub.co.za) subscription until the event, five 5-star aid stations, three spectator support points and five water points. Finishers medal and drink, Ridgeback Race Village entertainment area, finisher massage.
