WILD FEET — The Wildest Run on Earth

21–23 August 2026

Two days of trail running through pristine Big 5 wilderness, on trails very few people will ever experience on foot.

This is so much more than a race. It’s a full weekend in the wild — incredible running, wildlife, bush dinners, sundowners and a group of people coming together for a seriously special African adventure.

Run it. Walk it. Take it all in.

WILD WHEELS — The Wildest Ride on Earth

21–23 November 2026

The weekend kicks off on Friday with a 20km prologue, followed by sundowners in the bush.

Then Saturday is the main event — The Wild Wheels Classic. Choose the full 90km Classic or the 50km Short Course, riding through spectacular Big 5 wilderness and parts of the reserve that are rarely experienced from the saddle.

One big day. One incredible route. One seriously wild ride.
