COMPULSORY GEAR

Participating in the Hi-Tec Magoebas Ultra means that you will be running through some proper untouched nature. Apart from the fact that the weather can change quickly in Magoebaskloof, the forests are also vast and easy to get lost in. We therefore have a no-compromise attitude when it comes to compulsory gear. The compulsory gear can and will save your life in extreme circumstances.
