This social run is along the Aldgate Valley nature trail between Mylor and Stirling Cemetery, and return via the Heysen Trail between the cemetery and Mylor. Mylor Conservation Park is also featured.
The base loop is 11km. There is also a 16km loop that takes an extra detour into Engelbrecht Reserve and the Pioneer Women’s Trail. It features more challenging trails, including a creek crossing.

Guru app (previously known as “Galileo”) strongly recommended: We strongly recommend you download the Guru mapping app for your phone, and load the GPX map into it. The “download gpx” link is just above the map on this page.
- Download Guru (previously known as Galileo) for iPhone
- Download Guru (previously known as Galileo) for android
You will need to download the full version (roughly $2) rather than the free version.
If you are having trouble, arrive approximately 20 minutes early and ask around for help on how to set it up. If you know how to load a GPX file into Guru please do that before coming.
For iPhone users – the “download gpx” link wont work if you click it from within facebook. You need to open the safari app on your phone, visit trailrunningsa.com, and go from there.
If you would prefer not to use Guru, a printed map is also available by clicking the print map (PDF) button next to the map below.
