You can take in all the wonderful scenic spoils Kathu has to offer whilst completing the 5km race. Next time you’re in Kathu, challenge yourself to the Kathu Parkrun.
Something else for the avid runners
Do you believe that you could cover 250km over a period of seven days? We sure believe that you can! The South African Kalahari Augrabies Extreme Marathon is an insanely intense race. Filled with extreme weather & geographic conditions, it sure is a tough one – But imagine the level of satisfaction you will feel once you have completed it! It certainly is one of those goals you’d find on a bucket list. Contestants must keep all clothing & food items on them during the race, making it even more difficult than it already is. Bring your family along as spectators, they can stay at the Country Hotels along the route, cheering you on as you go! The event will take place from the 6th of October, 2022 – 16th of October, 2022.
