What a race! What a view from the top... well there would be but this year it was somewhat misty. Mweni is situated in the Northern Drakensberg between Royal Natal and Cathedral Peak. This solo format, challenging, knee-breaker takes place every year starting from a community centre near Bergville. All sorts of ultramarathoners and trail runners take part, testing their skills against a crazy 1800metre ascent and a stony, slippery descent. The distance of 40km sounds okay but the conditions can be scary: this year, heavy mist blotted out the top of the escarpment leaving runners to find their way with GPS and instinct. No-one was lost and eventually the prizegiving went off with much good spirit and tired cheers. We're very proud of Otters Haunt rock-rabbit Karen who won the gold for coming first in the Masters Lady race. What an achievement, and well deserved after all these years of dedicated berg bashing! And well done to Bruce Arnett for once again winning this mighty challenge! Remember, if you want to train for these events, come to the Vredefort Dome. - Graeme Addison OTTERS' HAUNT, Parys area.
