The Oxpecker Trail Run hits the sweet spot between challenging and charming. Two days of trail running is no joke, but the beautiful route, the Race Village setting, the people putting on the show, the superb food and drinks and the general “welcome to our home, please enjoy everything” atmosphere of the event makes the Oxpecker one of the most unique races on the local calendar.
You can take the run seriously or plod along for fun. You can sit around and eat all day after your run or you can snooze in your luxuriously-appointed tent on the banks of the Tugela River with the trees slowly and calmly rustling all about you. Most importantly, though, the Oxpecker is hosted by people who love and appreciate the outdoors and countryside, and that passion seeps into every aspect of the event. No wonder the event was dabbed "Africa's Favourite Trail Run."
The Oxpecker comprises of 3 events which are exactly the same, the ONLY difference is that the African weekend has prize money.
