The George 6 Peaks FKT-
Started as a pipe-dream between two friends having a few beers after running the Knysna Marathon. Fast forward a few months, the idea was casually mentioned again over a breakfast: "let me know when", followed by "how about Monday?" and without thinking too much, a commitment was made to tackle it 3 days later, on a Christmas day, 2017.

A massive congratulations to local legend for absolutely smashing the ladies' record and becoming our fifth fastest finisher ever! In an incredible time of 06:03:25, taking off more than 44 minutes from our last record holder, Tarrin van Niekerk set earlier this year. We have seen 2 spectacular women dip under the sub 7 hour mark.... Will 2024 see our first lady to run under 6 hours?

The birth of the George 6-Peaks FKT
The George 6 Peaks FKT started as a pipe-dream between two friends having a few beers after running the Knysna Marathon. Fast forward a few months, the idea was casually mentioned again over a breakfast: "let me know when", followed by "how about Monday?" and without thinking too much, a commitment was made to tackle it 3 days later, on a Christmas day, 2017. The evening before D-day the route was discussed together with a few other logistical hurdles and I reckon we all went to bed thinking “what did I just get myself into”.
After the first attempt, we were awestruck by the day’s achievement. We knew it was possible (judging from the stats on paper) but what we didn’t know was how possible. Having such an amazing experience we wanted to share it with people. We made a pact to run it every year at least once. Be it to try and set a new time or simply just paying our respect to the mountains, “Trail running tax” if you will. Only this time, we invite as many people as possible.
After the second year’s attempt we wanted to grow the concept even more and so the beginning of the Training runs and Mass Start. The story continues...
