Experience Summary

Make this 3-day Lesotho high-mountain running camp the heart of an inspiring adventure through the Drakensberg and the Maloti Mountains. Over the long weekend, you’ll work with a coach on useful mountain-running technique: pacing at altitude, smoother climbing rhythm, better downhill control and optional video analysis that provides clear pointers you’ll remember long after the camp ends.

Lesotho’s setting — wide plateaus, remote ridgelines, quiet villages and enormous mountain silence — is a stunning place to focus on your running. After the camp, our suggested continuation route leads into the Drakensberg passes or along the Maloti highlands by campervan, where you can pick the sections that match your time, fitness and appetite for adventure.
