Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve in Alberton is one of the best spots in Gauteng for some technical elevation training. This is probably one of our favourite trail running spots in Gauteng, not because it’s free but because it has something for everyone – technical, elevation, animals, flats, river crossings and a great coffee shop at the end.
There are two entrances but would recommend parking on Peggy Vera street as it’s the main entrance. You will need to get there early as the parking fills up quite fast.
There are many different routes but the red and the yellow are some great routes to give you an all round trail run, there are also some great routes on Garmin Connect that you can view and download to your watch to follow.
If you are there, let us know – we will probably be on the trails.
Here is a video of us exploring one the routes at “Klippies”:
