We begin our adventure by gathering in the parking area at the iconic St. Blaize Lighthouse. From here, we embark on a 400-meter stretch of gravel road that leads us into the charming suburbs of Mossel Bay. The journey is spiced up with some invigorating steep hills as we make our way to Cecil Shepherd Road, where you'll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the majestic lighthouse.

As we run, take a moment to soak in the natural beauty surrounding you. The trail winds through lush areas adorned with vibrant Aloe plants, and you might even encounter some local wildlife, such as Guinea Fowls and Partridges, adding a touch of nature's charm to your run.

This scenic route is flexible, with the option to adjust the distance from 8 km to 12 km, catering to your fitness level and desire for adventure. The return leg of our journey offers a gentle downhill cruise back to the lighthouse, where we'll finish with a flourish.

Upon our return, treat yourself to the best view in Mossel Bay while enjoying a well-deserved cappuccino. To cap off the experience, we'll take a historical tour through the famous St. Blaize Lighthouse, immersing ourselves in its rich history and the stories it holds.
