Longmore Forest Endurance Run (aka The LoFER)

The Longmore Forest Endurance Run (aka The LoFER)

The LoFER is a collection of endurance ultra runs designed to introduce runners to the joys of ultra running in wild and beautiful areas (and believe us, the Longmore Forestry Reserve is spectacularly beautiful!)

The routes for the race are very runnable, but they are not easy! "Endurance Run" is a true reflection of what the LoFER has to offer you.

The routes are a mix of logging roads, old forestry roads and jeep tracks, with a generous sprinkling of single track trail sections and a few challenging ascents and descents.

Runners on the bigger ultras (LoFER MAXI 200 Mile & LoFER 100 Mile) will tag the peaks of Blouberg (~810m) and Elandsrivierberg (~1000m) with its infamous collection of false summits!

The LoFER Lite 50 Mile, LoFER Mini 50km, LoFER Micro 30km, LoFER Pace 18km & LoFER Fun Run 7km routes all share a small portion of the main LoFER route before branching off to establish their own unique identities as races.

Race weekend is a festival of trail running as we have distances to suit everyone.

Run the LoFER and experience true trail community vibes in an amazingly beautiful setting with our awesome trail family!
