The Baviaanskloof Nature Reserve is pristine and remote and the route takes runners through area inhabited by dangerous game. In view of this the hosts, Eastern Cape Parks, & Tourism Agency has limited the number of invitations to this event to 100 runners.
Entries are allocated as follows:
-
80% of entries are allocated on a ‘first-come first-served' basis; two of these entries being allocated to the previous years' first lady and first man as 'conditional entries'.
- 20% of entries are "Wild Cards" for use by the event partners.
Entries for the 2013 event will open during May 2013.
