Jonkershoek 20km Single Track Trail Run

Location: Jonkershoek, Stellenbosch, South Africa

This morning we did one of our favourite Jonkershoek routes - basically 20km of glorious single track! We started with 5 sections of Canary and then took the top contour route towards the top of Never-ending. On this route we bumped into Christiaan & Landie Greyling two pro trail runners and a pro triathlete Vicky van der Merwe. After letting the pro's pass we hit the downhill of Never Ending and then took the single track all the way down to the river. On the way back we finished with the old Tedea single track. What an awesome route!
