DGT - The Winners
I'd love to hear from you. Send me a text
The Drakensberg Grand Traverse is a 210km self supported, self navigated mountain race that follows the border between South Africa and Lesotho. Most of the race is above 3000 ASL with the runners frequently going higher than 3300 m to reach the check points on the route.
In this episode I talk with the inaugural DGT winners Matt Bouch and Colin van Der Berg about their experience.
You can find Matt on Instagram @mattbouchphoto and Colin at @muggyicegoat
