Hi Trailers
Saturday’s route is from Kalk Bay, via Sunbird centre and up to Silvermine East. There are lots of routes available once in in Silvermine to suit everyone’s distance and time requirements
Route
From the car park at Kalk Bay station we climb the steps to Boyes Drive and turn left to get to the Trappieskop path. We go up and over the saddle down towards the path that runs above Clovelly road coming down just before the golf course. We run on the jeep track past the golf course, eventually turning right on to the sunbird centre track that leads up to Dead Man’s Path. At the T-junction with Dead Man’s Path we turn left and make our way to the SIlvermine Waterfall. We can visit this as a bonus if there’s good water. At this point we have done around 8km.
From here there are a number of options to get back with different distances and terrain
OR
Disclaimer: Distances are very approximate!
Rendezvous and start time
Meet at Kalk Bay station parking /Cape to Cuba opposite the stairs ready to start running at 7h30am. Please arrive early for parking, check-in and safety briefing.
Terrain & Distance
The route is a mixture of single track and Jeep track depending on the option chosen. The start is a climb but it’s very runnable past the golf course and on the Sunbird path. The terrain and distance of the options in Silvermine are described above
What to bring
Water, whistle, a space blanket and your ICE information. .
Please check the weather before you set off from home and pack the appropriate waterproof/warm gear.
Please note that TMT unfortunately does not allow dogs on its runs.
Please be aware that our runs operate under strict COVID protocols even though now on level 1.

To this end neither the Club nor the organisers personally can be held liable for any claims relating to inter alia, injuries, disabilities and death. Further any minor child participating in any trail running activity will be deemed to be doing so with the consent of his or her guardian.
By starting out on a trail run you explicitly acknowledge that:
1] you understand the associated risks involved and accept full responsibility for your own safety.
