ULTRA-TRAIL 100KM

The 100km race is one of the most competitive of RMB UTCT's distances.  

 

A front-loaded technical race from Garden's Rugby Club to Hout Bay and back around the mountain through the lush greenbelts. Views over Table Mountain and Twelve Apostles are the reward for the challenge of the terrain, followed by the fast-flowing forest on the return back.  

 

From one of the key Aid Stations at the University of Cape Town, the King’s Blockhouse ascent leads runners back up to the contour path where the Race Village is heard before it is seen. 

UT100 SPECIAL RACE MEDALS

Bornman

NIC BORNMAN MEDAL

TOP 10 ATHLETES

In honour of the race founder Nic Bornman, this medal is awarded to the top ten men and women of UT100 each year. As the flagship of the event, the Gran Canaria World Trail Major race, and one of the original race distances of RMB UTCT, UT100 carries immeasurable history and we recognise the value in honouring the heritage of the event and honouring those behind building it.

Original

THE ORIGINALS MEDAL

COMPLETE UT100 IN SUB 15 HOURS

In 2014, only 14 people finished the inaugural UT100, with the brutal 15-hour cut-off. While the 15-hour cut-off is no longer, the honour and legacy of that cut-off runs deep within the trail community.

For this, the Originals medal stands as a mark of respect to those athletes finishing UT100 within 15 hours.
