Southern Summits
Trail running coaching & guided mountain experiences
Personalised coaching. Guided adventures. More time in the mountains.
Southern Summits is about helping you get more out of the trails, whether that’s exploring the Garden Route on a guided trail run or hike, or working towards your next goal through personalised trail running coaching.
Trail Running Coaching
Whether you’re training for your first trail race, chasing a new PB or tackling your next ultra, Southern Summits coaching is built around your goals, your life and your trails.
I provide personalised training plans, ongoing feedback and practical guidance to help you train consistently, perform at your best and actually enjoy the process.
Guided Trail Tours
Explore the mountains and trails of the Garden Route with a local mountain guide who knows the area, loves being out there and believes a good day on the trails should be fun, safe and memorable.
From relaxed trail runs to mountain adventures and guided hikes, each outing is tailored to your experience, interests and what you want to get out of the day.
Meet Colleen
I’m Colleen a trail running coach, ultra runner and registered mountain guide, based in George in the heart of the Garden Route.
I’ve spent years running, racing, hiking and exploring mountains both at home and abroad, from local trails to 200 mile ultras in the Italian Alps. These experiences have shaped how I coach and guide: practical, individualised and grounded in real world experience.
Whether I’m helping an athlete prepare for their next race or showing someone a new mountain trail, my aim is the same, to help people get more out of their time outdoors.
