The 𝗛𝗶𝗹𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗹 is not your everyday trail playground.
Set inside the Hilton College Private Nature Reserve, this run gives you rare access to a wild piece of the Midlands that is normally closed to the public. Big views, open grasslands, bushveld, valley drops, proper climbs and the winding uMngeni River far below, this is a route with real flow, proper grit and a whole lot of space to lean into.
The Long and Medium courses head deep into the 650-hectare reserve, dropping into the uMngeni Valley before working their way back up onto the plateau. Expect aloe-studded climbs, wide-open views over Otto’s Bluff and Albert Falls, flowing trail, dirt road sections and plenty of that special Midlands energy underfoot.
Keep your eyes open too. Warthog, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest and antelope all call this reserve home, and out here, wildlife always has right of way and is a privilege to move amongst it.
The Short course keeps things a little more chilled, winding through shaded pine plantations for a cooler, steadier run with a strong sense of place.
Across all distances, Hilton College brings the good stuff: space, views, wildlife, runnable trail and enough bite to keep you honest. Smooth where it flows, punchy where it climbs, and fully worth showing up for.
Online entries close Friday, 5 June at midnight.
