The Drakensberg Grand Traverse is the highest, hardest, and longest hike in South Africa. It stretches along 250km of the Drakensberg escarpment from the Sentinal Car Park in the North (near Harrismith) to Bushman’s Nek in the South (near Underberg). Although Jarred van Alphen and Kai Broom are not part of the Drakensberg Grand Traverse trip this year, they did partake in a 100 km run from the Northern Traverse accompanied by experienced trail runner Pierre Jordaan.
