We will bring chilled Jack Black Beer to enjoy afterwards and ask that you contribute to the Volunteer Wildfire Volunteers - https://vws.org.za/vws-support/On Thursday, 5 March 2026, we meet at the Devil's Peak trail head for the run to start at 18:00. We will run the Oppelskop Loop Trail Route.
Meet in the parking area at Devil's Peak trail head on Tafelberg Road.
Starting from the Devil's Peak trailhead, we head up towards the contour. Once on the contour keep left until we reach the Woodstock Cave sign. Turn right to go up but keep right, avoiding the cave. On the middle contour, we'll turn left at the split to continue up until we connect with the upper contour. We'll keep right until we reach the midway point to the Devil's Peak summit and head down towards Saddle Rock. From Saddle Rock we keep right heading down towards Oppelskop. We'll take in the views and scramble down the front of Oppelskop to connect to the lower contour path. Keeping left on the contour, we head back to our cars and finish down the zig zags we came up.
Difficulty rating – 7/10
The distance is about 9kms.
Fast, Fast-Medium, Medium and Medium-slow pace options available, each with an experienced group leader to cater for different speeds, so provided you can run a flat 10kms in less than 65 minutes, there will be a group for you.
***MORE NB: BRING COLD DRINKS FOR AFTER!!***
NB: PLEASE ALL DO YOUR BEST TO STAY IN YOUR GROUPS - MOST PARTICULARLY DO NOT RUN AHEAD OF YOUR GROUP LEADER. If you are new to the runs and unsure of the pace of the various groups, then rather run with a slower group initially.
