Salomon Featherbed Trail Run
COELACANTH TRAIL RUN : 15 KM – This is the one to do!
The longer Coelacanth Route will take you along the top of the Western Head where breath taking vistas await; views across to the sheer cliffs of the Eastern Head and out over the Indian Ocean towards Buffalo Bay. Be prepared to be challenged by some hill work as you climb up from sea level to take in the splendour on the ridge line above the Heads. You’ll find well-earned relief on the downhill into Lake Brenton and along the Outeniqua Choo Choo railway bridge to the Finish Line back at the Featherbed Ferry Terminus @ Cruise Cafe.
SEAHORSE TRAIL RUN: 11.0 KM
The shorter Seahorse Route takes a more direct line to the finish, with all its participants being driven to the top of the Western Head by the Featherbed Nature Reserve 4 x 4 truck and seated trailer. This will save your legs the steep, heart pumping, climb from sea level however there is still a fair share of challenging hill work to contend with as you join up with the longer Coelacanth Trail on the ridge line above the Heads. The relief will come as you descend into Lake Brenton and along the Outeniqua Choo Choo railway bridge to the Finish Line back at the Featherbed Ferry Terminus @ Cruise Cafe.
The race will take place on Tuesday 7th July during the Pick n Pay Knysna Oyster Festival. You have the chance to participate in any of the 3 races on offer this year. A MORNING RUN at 07.30am A MIDDAY RUN at 11.30am & AN AFTERNOON RUN at 15.30pm All races start at the Featherbed Ferry Terminus @ Cruise Cafe with the Ferry Trip across the Lagoon, so make sure you arrive early and don’t miss the boat!
