The Southern Cross Trail Run (also known as the Sox Trail Run) is South Africa’s most diverse 3-day trail race, covering mountains, forests, and coastlines along the iconic Garden Route.
With 90% of the route set within protected South African National Park land, each stage immerses runners in remote natural beauty—from the single tracks of the Outeniqua Mountains to the lush Goudveld Forest and the dramatic Wilderness coastline. This exclusive, small-field event offers a professionally supported experience with the feel of a VIP adventure.
Participants will run on pristine hiking trails in the mountain on day one, experience the tranquility of our lush, indigenous forest on day two, and end off, with day three, along the stunning coastline of the Garden Route.
