I recommend garden gloves for any mountain run where you might have to use your hands in some places. They are great for protecting your hands and are warm as well.
Talking about the gully, you can see where the stone on my trophy comes from…
Have a fantastic weekend everyone!

That trophy is reminiscent of the pavé trophies from the Paris-Roubaix bike race. Love the garden gloves, nice simple solution. Probably a company out there that sells mountain running gloves.
You seriously are hard core. The course looks like you need rock climbing gear along with your running shoes. I'm not worthy. Nice trophy.
You
are
my
hero.
I am such a "wuss" compared to you.
AMAZING.
What you do - - - it's truly incredible.
I can see how the gardening gloves would be useful for that rope section. I, however, think I would be too much of a chicken to do that!
Oh wow, that is intense! Looks like they came in handy. ;) CONGRATS and nice trophy!!!
Hi Johann,
I totally get why you would need a good pair of gloves to protect you from the elements that trail and Ultra racing dish up.
That trophy is so cool:) Just think, they made the trophy out of the rock from the gulley that you needed to get across! Great idea!
Johann, I hope that you have a fantastic weekend! Take care of yourself:)
Garden gloves...mountain run...gullys...and a cool trophy...Wow!
And they work well around the house!

Each run is more spectacular than the previous. Nice tip on the garden gloves, thanks!
Great advice and they are pretty inexpensive too so if you loose them it's no big deal. Love that trophy!!
What do you recommend for gloves on a bike on a very cold day? I think GG would be too thick but maybe I should try them.
I love alternative uses for everyday items. One of the dance groups I've worked with didn't want to buy expensive gloves for a routine so they bought rubber kitchen gloves. They looked the same as expensive ones from the audience.
Great idea! I have entered the Gauteng summer trail series, not sure if I'll need them there but will pack them just in case. Thanks.
I'm still loving that trophy more than any of my 3 children - hehe. But seriously, I do think it's awesome!! Great idea on the garden gloves - who knew!! :) Have a fabulous weekend!!!!!
Garden gloves is a nice simple solution. Thanks for this advice.
Have a nice weekend!
Soon planet earth may not be challening enough for you. May I suggest Mars.
Scuba gloves work well also - wind / water proof. Once again, that is a sweet trophy!
Garden gloves...how creative :)
You are so amazing!
HA!! I love that it is garden gloves. Looks like they are working just fine!
garden gloves? I learn something new every time I read your blog!!! : )
That is one of the best trophies I have ever seen. It's awesome that it ties directly to the race. You are awesome! I am not sure I'll ever have the guts to do something that requires gardening gloves -- other than gardening =)
