Forest Run Challenge 2026

The Forest Run Challenge begins at the SANDF Army Base, Forest Hill Sport Grounds in Gqeberha. A 15 km road race starts at 07:00, followed by a 5 km fun run five minutes later. Sibaleka Nani Athletics Club hosts this June road-running event, now in its fourth edition. The event is a road race, not a trail run, offering a 15 km main race and a 5 km option for all participants. It is part of the EPA Participation League and holds EPA League Status, providing a competitive incentive for local club runners. The 5 km fun run is open to casual joggers and families. Race numbers can be collected and late registration completed the day before or on race morning. Organizers are offering numerous spot prizes.
