The race starts on the bus! 🚌🐍

If you’ve ever been on a Mr O bus, then you know. The stories. The banter. The nervous excitement. The last-minute race plans. The chaos.

This isn’t just a shuttle. It’s part of the Cape Cobra experience. And with limited parking at the start, we need as many runners as possible to park at the finish and ride with us.

Getting your ticket is easy:

1. Log in to your Racepass entry account

2. Open the profile you used to enter Cape Cobra

3. Click β€œMerch” and add your bus ticket for your race distance

That’s it. Park at the finish. Chaos to the start.

We’ll see you on the bus. 🐍πŸ”₯

THE STRAVA SEGMENT CHALLENGE ⚑🐍

Not every prize is waiting at the finish line.

Hidden within the Cape Cobra route are selected Strava segments that will be revealed on race morning.

Hit them hard, clock the fastest time and you could be driving off into the sunset with one of the coolest prizes in trail running 😎

Thanks to .za, the fastest male and female across the designated segments will each win a day behind the wheel of a Cobra.πŸ›ž

Do you save your legs for the finish?
Or spend a little extra gas chasing glory?

Stay tuned. More sponsor reveals. More prizes. More ways to strike.

5 months to go.
Ssss-see you soon.

This means our race is now recognised by the International Trail Running Association and officially listed on the global trail running calendar alongside recognised trail races around the world. οΏΌ

For runners, this means:

β€’ Official ITRA points for eligible finishers

β€’ Verified course evaluation and race statistics
β€’ Inclusion in the ITRA National League system
β€’ A globally recognised trail running profile and ranking

The ITRA National League is a worldwide initiative designed to support local trail races, grow competition within each country and create national rankings based on runners’ best ITRA performances across the season. οΏΌ

This is a step forward for Cape Cobra, for South African trail running and for every runner who lines up on our start line.

From local mountain trails to the global trail running stage. Thanks to the pulse for supporting the movement πŸ–€πŸ’›

πŸ”₯ GUESS THE ELITE πŸ”₯

Racing speaks loud… but this one prefers to let the legs do the talking.

A specialist on the South African trail scene, known for smooth climbing, technical strength and consistent podium-level performances across 20–50km terrain. πŸ‘€

INSIDER CLUES:

🌍 Grew up in Windhoek, Namibia

🧠 Recently completed a PhD in Physiology

🍦 Will eat ice cream no matter how cold it is outside

πŸ‘Ÿ Loves a social run more than a solo suffer-fest

Recently she’s been mixing it with some of the strongest women in SA trail racing, regularly inside the top of competitive fields. Not flashy. Just fast.

🐍 One last vida meet-up before recce season begins

Our next — and final — Cobra x vida e caffè x mr. o community run is happening:

πŸ“ Constantia Village Vida - Alphen trail
πŸ—“ 7 June
πŸ‘£ 10km

Route plan:
vida β†’ Alphen Trail β†’ back to vida β˜•

Expect the same Cobra energy:

🎸 live vibes

🐍 Cobra community atmosphere

We’re getting closer to race day now.
After this, we move into the official Cobra recce runs.

At the previous meet-up, over 100 runners registered, but less than half arrived on the day. Unfortunately that meant others missed out on spots they would have used.

To help keep entries fair and committed, registration for this run is now R50, with all proceeds going directly to the .

So your R50:
βœ” Secures your spot
βœ” Supports a great cause
βœ” Helps us manage the experience properly

This is the final vida social before things start getting real.

🎟 Entries are limited.
