In order to host a run like this it takes a huge amount of planning / negotiations / safety & evacuation plans / logistics / tracking & communications / volunteers.  Therefore, for us to go ahead with staging the event, we need a minimum of 20 teams (40 runners).  We will keep the FB page updated with the entry status over the coming weeks and will make the final call at the end of February if it will proceed based on the entries received.  So, if you would like to do the DGT Run 2024, you need to enter in the coming weeks to ensure we reach the required minimum number.  Upon entry, we will require a deposit of R1,000 which will go towards your entry fee if the event goes ahead or be fully refunded if it does not proceed.
