 <\/p>\n

The organisers of the iconic Stellenbosch based Savanna Origin of Trails MTB and Trail Run Experience have announced that the events will boast separate dates in 2021 with the Trail Run Experience moving to 26 \u2013 27 June, while the MTB Experience remains on 27 \u2013 28 November.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe COVID-19 restrictions limit the number of entries permitted at events,\u201d says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports and Founder of the events.\u00a0 \u201cAttempting to host both a Trail Run and MTB event on one day would place further restrictions on the number of entries permitted per event.\u00a0 The split will enable us to welcome more trail runners and more mountain bikers to the respective events.\u00a0 The split will also enable us to focus our full attention on the trail running experience in June and the mountain biking experience in November.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are also very excited to announce that the majestic Blaauwklippen Wine Estate will be the home of the Savanna Origin of Trails Trail Run Experience in June,\u201d continues Meyer.\u00a0 \u201cOne of the oldest wine farms in South Africa, Blaauwklippen Wine Estate is a popular tourist destination that has iconic trails.\u00a0 We are proud to include these trails as part of our 2021 route.\u00a0 After each stage trail runners can relax and take in the beauty of this magnificent region.\u00a0 The well-known Blaauwklippen Market will also be in full swing on Saturday and Sunday.\u00a0 We remind entrants to please adhere to the COVID-19 regulations at all times whether competing or visiting the market.\u00a0 We look forward to welcoming trail runners to the start of the Savanna Origin of Trails Trail Run Experience in June.\u201d<\/p>\n
