CUT OFF
All marathon runners must complete the route by 15h30.
There is a compulsory cut off at approximately 24km – 4hrs (09h30) at the entrance to Krantzkloof Nature Reserve.
Runners not making the cut off time must hand in their number to the marshal.
TRAIL MARKERS
42km: White Flags and White and Black UHTM sign boards.
21km: Orange Flags and White and Orange UHTM sign boards.
Where the routes are combined: White and Black/Orange (mixed) sign boards.
We have used a minimal approach to marking the trails. There will be clear markings at all trail crossing or turns. Look for the route flags and UHTM sign boards. Uploading the GPX to your phone or watch will help your navigation.
Please follow all marshal directions and instructions when crossing roads. When on the road, please run in single file and use the pavement when there is one available.
Please refer to the route page for more details

ROUTE ACCESS
Sections of the course cross private land, natural reserves and conservancy land. Therefore some sections are only accessible on race day. Please respect this and do not run the entire route at any other time.
​
CUP FREE
UHTM is a cup free event in order to minimize the waste the event produces. Please ensure that you run with a suitable cup, bottle or container that you can use at the water tables.

WEATHER AND RECOMMENDED GEAR
Please watch the weather forecasts carefully and refer to the compulsory gear list page for more detail on what to pack.
We will not be checking the gear, but please be sensible and carry what is required.
Good grip trail running shoes are recommended as the route can be very technical in parts.
