The route runs along part of the British advance to the battle of Talana. As it goes up Mpati mountain runners will pass through the area where Maroela Erasmus and his men were stationed on the top and from where Lieut Trichardt led the small group that attacked Col Mollers' 18th Hussars who were trapped in the old barn on Adelaide farm (unfortunately the old stone barn fell down last year). Check out all the details of the race in the image below. Closing date for entries is the 11 September 2019.
