Graeme Trautmann
Graeme is a distance runner who has forsaken the paved surfaces for the mountain kingdom on his doorstep. A native Noordhoek inhabitant, Graeme grew up in these mountains and regularly guides groups up into the peaks for some high speed hiking. When work travel arrangements allow there is a weekly Saturday morning group run which anybody can join. Some of the outings are more extreme than others so it’s best to check beforehand what route and distance is being explored. You are guaranteed a unique experience and to discover new vistas. Should you have a group that wishes to explore a certain region, please get hold of Graeme for guiding or traveling tips or to take you up there and back down again at speed. Keep an eye on Trailblazer Adventure Challenges for updates.
