The Greyton Mountain Marathon winds along the upper contour of the Sonderend mountains around Greyton and Genadendal. It started as a two-day stage race and became a single-day marathon in 2025.
The 42km joins a 21km nature reserve route (about 1,032 m of gain) with the 21km Bakenskop MTB route (about 520 m). A separate 21km half marathon runs the Bakenskop route. All proceeds go to the Greyton House Village School bursary fund.
