Are you up for a relaxed yet challenging trail run in the Auas Mountains just outside Windhoek? Gondwana Collection Namibia and Moonraker Outdoor Adventure Rest camp are joining hands to invite runners to the first Gondwana Moonraker Ridge Trail Run on 17 September 2022.

And believe it or not, this event is not only about running. Bring family and friends along to this enchanting down-to-earth adventure camp surrounded by a 2000-hectare nature reserve, where humans, animals and nature exist in harmonious synergy. While you are busy running, your family might enjoy a stroll to the farmyard to meet the friendly contingent of animals.

The routes of 20, 10 or 5km lead through riverbeds, valleys, and hills in the beautiful scenery of the African bush. The rugged terrain is challenging and includes jeep tracks, single tracks, and even raw terrain (i.e., no track). Routes will be clearly marked with directional signage, bunting, ribbons or ground markings, and route maps will be provided prior to the event.

Attractive prizes in the form of value vouchers sponsored by Gondwana and partners await the three best finishers in each running category.
