The UTCT Trail Fund is an ongoing legacy project incentivising participants to fundraise to two UTCT causes, and in doing so receive full refunds on their entry fees.
The UTCT Trail Fund concentrates on two primary areas:
To contribute to Table Mountain National Park’s Honorary Rangers conservation programmes that maintain the National Park.
To develop and grow trail running in disadvantaged communities.
Environmental Fund
The proceeds will go to Table Mountain National Park's Honorary Rangers to assist with various programs that sustain the National Park e.g. clearing alien vegetation, trail rehabilitation, arranging cleanups and other environmental programmes.
Development Runners’ Fund
UTCT will contribute financially to developing trail running for disadvantaged communities and fostering the next group of elite runners. Being part of the Ultra-Trail World Tour, UTCT has the platform to expose talent from our shores to the best trail runners and events in the world.
The support mechanism for athletes will revolve around fellow trail runners and coaches contributing their time and experience at specialised clinics. These clinics will be set up to expose the youth of South Africa to the wonders of the great outdoors and the joys of trail running.

In addition, UTCT will offer up to 30 entries per year and will manage the process of booking transport and accommodation for the runners.
