When Kane & I first attempted 13 Peaks in early 20

When Kane & I first attempted 13 Peaks in early 2019, never in my wildest dreams did I think it would grow into what it has become today.

I thought maybe a couple of people would give it a go… But, as of today there are close on 1000 finishers. Just incredible!

That said, something that has been weighing on my mind for a while is what if the worst happens? It’s a realistic view that I need to take.

My wish is for us as a 13 Peaks community of hikers and trail runners to thrive and celebrate the trails and the experiences of completing the challenge!

As a community, we need to look out for each other, running at night can be dangerous.

To prevent the something bad from happening - I've decided to combine the One and Two day badges into the Two Day badge. This also respects SANParks’ regulations not to use the mountain at night.

13 Peakers will have the choice of doing either the Multi Day challenge or the Two Day (48hr) challenge.

Thanks to the community for growing 13 Peaks into what it is today! It’s been extraordinary to witness so many stories, and I look forward to seeing even more over the coming years!

Cheers
Ryan
