RECCE RUNS
Master the Terrain in Every Element
Long days. Hot trails. Summer in the Winelands.
Pass2Pass Ultra-Trail recce season is back. We had plans for a winter recce, but the snow never quite arrived. So we’re trading cold mornings for summer heat, dusty trails and long days in the mountains.
Three dates to get you ready for April:
-
The Goal: Building base mountain strength and testing your cold/wet weather compulsory gear under raw, real-world conditions.
Venue: Doolhof Wine Estate
Date & Time: Postponed
-
The Goal: We kick things off with our friends at Paarl Rock Ultra. Not an official P2P Route recce, but a great opportunity to get the legs moving and start getting used to the Winelands summer heat. P2P will be managing the Meulwater Aid Station along with one of our P2P event partners, Maurten.
Venue: Paarl Taal Monument
Date & Time: 4 & 5 December 2026
-
The Goal: Our first official P2P route recce. Straight out of the holidays and back into the mountains. Peak volume and race-day simulation. We host two dedicated summer editions to deliberately replicate the midday heat, allowing you to fine-tune your final hydration, Maurten fueling protocols, and heat management before the main event.
Venue: Doolhof Wine Estate
Date & Time: 23 January 2027
-
The Goal: One final recce, right in the thick of summer. An opportunity to fine-tune your final hydration with Maurten fueling protocols, and heat management before the main event.
Venue: Doolhof Wine Estate
Date & Time: 6 February 2027
