The Rhodes Trail Run, South Africa's iconic breathtaking trail run, is a 52km event staged in the tranquil beauty of the southern Drakensberg mountains surrounding the Victorian-era hamlet of Rhodes (1800m above sea level). It is common for the temperature at the start to be below zero (usually around -10 degrees Celsius). The route takes in the legendary Mavis Bank (at one stage the gradient is 1:3) before heading across the Ben MacDhui snowfields, Lesotho View (2680m, on the Lesotho border) and Hooggenoeg Ridge ending with the jarring descent down Carlislehoek.

The race has a limited field of about 300 runners. Entry is by invitation only with a very efficient substitution facility.
