The Cape Odyssey race, a trail race for runners organised by the same team involved in the Cape Epic for cyclists, finishes at Boschendal wine estate in Franschhoek today.

The race has had a powerful impact on toursim in the towns through which the race has been run, including Hermanus and Franschhoek, with sold-out accommodation.

More than 300 runners have participated in the blistering 200 km race, taking them from Hermanus, to Kleinmond, through Elgin and Grabouw, on to the finish at Franschhoek.
