Trail Running

Trail Running is an exciting outdoor sport that combines endurance running with the beauty of natural landscapes, taking athletes off the road and onto rugged trails through mountains, forests, and valleys. KwaZulu-Natal Athletics (KZNA) has officially recognized trail running as a discipline, opening new opportunities for athletes and enthusiasts to explore this growing sport. In a major boost for the sport, South Africa will proudly host the 2027 World Trail Running Championships, attracting elite runners from across the globe and showcasing our country’s breathtaking terrain. This is a unique chance for local athletes to compete on the world stage and for members to be part of these historic events, whether as participants, volunteers, or supporters. Let’s embrace this exciting journey and make South Africa a trail running powerhouse!
