The Table Mountain Challenge is a 37 km mountain trail run annually clockwise around Table Mountain and Devil's Peak, South Africa and consisting mostly of single track with a few kilometers of jeep track. The trail involves a great amount of scrambling, passing through an indigenous forest and crossing mountain streams, steep slopes of fynbos and views.[citation needed]

The route starts at Kloof Nek, runs below Tafelberg Road via Deer Park to the path below the Blockhouse on Devil's Peak. From there a contour path leads to Constantia Nek, passing above Kirstenbosch, cutting through Orange Kloof to Myburgs Path, on to Suikerbossie and up Llandudno Corner, over the top of the Twelve Apostles to Kasteelspoort, down the Pipe Track and back to Kloof Nek.[1]
