THE OTTER : Classic Route
RACE DATE
Prologue: Oct 14, 2015
Race: Oct 15, 2015
The Otter Challenge is the event for the more social Trail Runner, who doesn’t only want to achieve to run the OTTER in 1 day only, but who also wants to enjoy him/herself out there and maybe even catch a glimpse of the stunning scenery. But don’t think it is a walk in the park. Otter Challenge athletes have no other advantage than a little bit more time – the trail starts and finishes at the same points as the OTTER Run, it covers exactly the same distance and the same gain in altitude !
Due to a narrow window of the tidal times in which a safe crossing of Bloukrans River can be managed, 2015 challenge athletes will face a very strict cut-off time based on a 11 hours finishing time calculated on the starting time of the last athletes.
| Cut off Point | Race Time |
| Last Start | 00:00 |
| CP1 Ngubu | 01:04 |
| CP2 Scott | 02:58 |
| CP4 Oakhurst | 05:10 |
| CP5 Bloukrans | 07:42 |
| CP6 Andre | 08:56 |
| Finish | 11:00 |
The Otter Challenge athletes that manage to finish the Challenge in the max 11 hours will be rewarded with either of two medals.
