Estate, Grabouw (Western Cape) in September 2021.<\/p>\n<p>In May this year event organisers, Stillwater Sports, shared the very exciting news that SA\u2019s premier 3-Day Stage Trail Run would expand into a National Series of events with three events taking place in 2021 and five events taking place in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first event of 2021, our flagship 3-Day THIRSTI AFRICANX TRAILRUN took place in March,\u201d says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports and Founder of the event.\u00a0 \u201cThe final two events for 2021 are the THIRSTI AFRICANX TRAILRUN <strong>2-Day<\/strong> <strong>XPLORE <\/strong>at Van Gaalen Kaasmakerij (North West Province) on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 August, followed by the THIRSTI AFRICANX TRAILRUN <strong>1-Day<\/strong> <strong>XPERIENCE <\/strong>that will take place at the Paul Cluver Wine Estate (Western Cape) on Saturday 18 September.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLiving up to the THIRSTI AFRICANX TRAILRUN reputation, the <strong>2-Day XPLORE<\/strong> is the perfect prelude to what to expect from the flagship 3-Day event,\u201d continues Meyer.\u00a0 \u201cTaking the format of an \u2018individual entry\u2019 event (not teams of two), runners can look forward to exploring the most spectacular terrain that the North West Province has to offer.\u00a0 Each stage will feature a different route that is guaranteed to keep things exciting while leaving runners in awe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe <strong>1-Day XPERIENCE<\/strong> is the perfect AFRICANX teaser,\u201d confirms Meyer.\u00a0 \u201cSituated less than an hour\u2019s drive from the Cape Town International Airport, not only is Paul Cluver Wines easily accessible and perfect for Capetonians that would like to enjoy a day out on the trails, it\u2019s also convenient for trail runners that will be travelling from outside of Cape Town.\u00a0 Taking the format of an \u2018individual entry\u2019 event (not teams of two), runners will be treated to some of the Western Cape\u2019s most iconic trails.\u00a0 Whether entering the 2-Day XPLORE or 1-Day XPERIENCE, both events boast magnificent trails that are combined with spectacular views, a relaxed atmosphere and great vibe!\u00a0 We invite all trail running enthusiasts to join in on the fun and Let Nature Give You A Run For Your Money.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>EVENT
