Over the next 2 years I took running as a way to explore my new city of Durban and beyond. Finding small intimate trails like Burman Bush to more established scenery like Giba Gorge. I love sharing these places and experiences and started creating YouTube videos sharing “must-know” details about what you can expect. Then

Hi. My name is Emily Allan, I am a mom, an adventure trail runner, a wine drinker, and a lover of food and photography. I am possibly Holla’s biggest Fan. I have been running those trails for over 10 years and I always ready to take grinds and family on another early morning adventure on the trails. My happy place is on any trail. I train so I can explore new places, but especially to visit those places you can only reach

I have always been a runner for as long as I can remember, I love being outdoors and spending time with nature and all the things Holla Trails has to offer. My interests are reading, it brings a sense of peace. I love makeup artistry and all things beauty. I love writing my own little novels based of fiction and non-fiction. A fun fact about me is that I can be quiet at first, but once I’m comfortable, I’m fun

I’m an outdoor junkie who works in the ocean as a marine scientist, but plays on the trails whenever I can! A long-term hiker who’s recently graduated to trail running, I still proudly represent the slow plodders, proof that the trails are for everyone. For me, the trails are where fitness meets freedom and where my soul gets its happy place. Having Holla Trails so close to home is a gift, making it easy to explore, reset, and reconnect with

My passion is the outdoors and the mountains, unfortunately I can't get to the mountains as often as I would like, but I am extremely lucky to have Holla Trails as a second option to get my fix of trail running. What I Iove about Holla Trails: Endless opportunities for adventure.

Indoor-sport girlie turned trail addict thanks to Holla Trails. Frolicking in forests and caffeine fixes are solid favourites. Holla isn’t just a trail, it’s a lifestyle, and I show up weekly like it’s a non-negotiable. New skill obtained since Holla? Elite mud-puddle dodging! My level of sass in trainers ever on the increase. Warning: addiction level may result in investments like confidence to enter stage races, rocketing caffeine tolerance and the realisation that if it's not on Strava it didn't
