At each of these events a runner receives a number ‘in perpetuity', recording his achievements in the annals of the event.

On completion of three Baviaanskloof Trail Runs the runner will be recognised as a 'Legend of the Baviaanskloof' and will receive a very special, significant and unique memento of the achievement.

On completing their third Baviaanskloof Trail Run each runner receives a limited edition numbered and signed Alan Ainslie print of a black rhino. The 37cm x 30cm prints, of which there are only be 50 of each edition, are printed on high quality German etching paper.

Alan Ainslie is one of South Africa's leading wilderness sculptors and painters, and while most of his art is sold outside South Africa (some of his paintings residing in South African embassies abroad) outdoor enthusiasts have enjoyed seeing his life-size Gemsbok bronzes at the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. Alan's work on Madiba and Gandhi won international acclaim among philatelists, as did his series on South African tourism.

Each presentation has a plaque identifying it as a 'Legend' award and the framing has been carried out by one of South Africa's oldest and leading framing businesses.

The Baviaanskloof Trail Run winners floating trophy black rhino bronzes were created by Alan Ainslie.

When the first batch of ‘Legends' awards has been made, a second and different black rhino drawing will be commissioned and a further set of signed limited edition numbered prints produced. These unique and special achievement awards will be much valued by the outdoor loving Baviaanskloof runners, and no doubt will be displayed prominently, even when the recipients running days are over!

Grandchildren will look admiringly at the framed black rhino drawing, read the plaque and ask 'Grandpa/Granny, how did you become a Legend of the Baviaanskloof?'
