Duke of York : Road and Trail run

The Duke of York 16 km is one of South Africa’s oldest road races. In 1926 a floating trophy was donated by the Duke of York Lodge to the then Pietermaritzburg Athletic and Cycling Club for the race and the first run took place in 1927.

The 16 km event takes place on district and farm roads.

All events start and finish at the Bishopstowe Hall in Pietermaritzburg and will take place on Sunday 7 October 2018.

There are also 1 kilometre and 5 kilometre fun runs which are both on scenic farm roads.
