Not everyone feels ready to take on the full Hout Bay Trail Challenge alone… and that’s exactly why HBTC has a team option. ⛰️
Grab two mates, split the route between the three of you and take on the mountain together — one leg at a time. Whether you’re the climber, the speedster or just there for the gees and the finish line photos, there’s a place for everyone on a team.
And of course, there’s the important job of coming up with a legendary team name. 😄
Entries are filling fast for Saturday, 1 August 2026.

Only a few days to go! ⏳

The Hout Bay Trail Challenge is almost here, and it wouldn’t be HBTC without a little rain leading up to race day. 🌧️

The good news? Saturday’s weather is looking great! But remember — conditions on the mountain can still be cold and unpredictable, so pack your wet-weather and warm gear to stay comfortable out there. Don't forget your Racefood bars
