There’s a choice of route to suit the whole family – the 10-12km river trail is for beginners, the 20-23km traverses the lower slopes, which is ideal for most levels, and the 35km is a toughie, with big climbs, gnarly scrambles and thrilling descents. There’s even a kiddies dash on the farm.

The entry fee includes a Crazy shirt (valued at R350) and a First Ascent race cap (valued at R150), as well as a Van Gaalens picnic lunch at the finish (chicken roll with salad). All entries also have a 10 percent conservation donation to help Charity projects.

You can spend the whole day at Van Gaalens, relaxing on the veranda and vast lawns after the run, or indulging at the nearby restaurant and farm stall. There will also be lots of Crazy prizegivings (for each race) with cash prizes for winners and heaps of lucky draws. 35km
