Trespassing on the Mac Mac Trail. It is illegal to trespass onto the Mac Mac Trail without a permit. Whilst the organisers of the Mac Mac Ultra actively encourage participants of this event to hike the Fanie Botha and other Trails we relinquish any attempt to trespass on Private Property.  As the Mac Mac Trails is equally off bounds to everyone for the purposes of training the event organisers will not hesitate to disqualify anyone who trespasses onto the Trail outside of this event and ban them from future participation. Past participants guilty of trespassing will have their previous results annulled and names publicised on the event websites and in event correspondences.
