1. TRAIL TALK

Your trail adventures continue.

Hi there, I trust you've had a good week.

You celebrate your weekend trails on Facebook every Monday morning. It's simple: upload one photo that you or a running buddy took on your weekend missions, and say a bit about it. There are always some gems, and this week was no exception. You can still add your pic.

Above: Demetrius Van Rooyen had an epic Sunday morning tagging three peaks in his beautiful Ceres backyard.

Check out the other fantastic shares this week. All inspiring!

Have you run all 98 editions of Harrismith Mountain Race?

It seems no-one has! Weird, that. Deon attended the 98th edition of South Africa's oldest surviving registered run and was blown away. The experience answered the question: what's the big deal about climbing Platberg (2,394m ASL) anyway? So, why should you make a point of getting to this historic event? Check out our Facebook post to find out.

Have a great Friday and weekend. Chat again on Monday.
