Following the wake of a very exciting 3-Day Stage Race (that was hosted in March this year), the organisers of the iconic\u00a0THIRSTI AFRICANX TRAILRUN <\/strong>are excited to open entries (on Wednesday 04 May 2022) for four THIRSTI AFRICANX events: in 2022 the 2-Day<\/strong> XPLORE <\/strong>in Gauteng, the 1-Day XPERIENCE <\/strong>in the Western Cape and the 1-Day XPERIENCE <\/strong>in Gauteng; and in 2023 the iconic 3-Day STAGE RACE <\/strong>once again in the Western Cape.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to open entries for four iconic THIRSTI AFRICANX <\/strong>events,\u201d says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports and Founder of the THIRSTI AFRICANX TRAILRUN. \u201cNot only can runners enter early, and adequately prepare for each event, but entrants also have enough time to find the perfect partner to team up with for the 3-Day STAGE RACE<\/strong>. The 1-Day and 2-Day races can also be used as the perfect \u2018training runs\u2019 for the 3-Day STAGE RACE<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe THIRSTI AFRICANX TRAILRUN series of events will treat entrants from across the country to a trail running experience like no other,\u201d continues Meyer. \u201cIrrespective of the event entered, trail runners can look forward to experiencing spectacular trails, amazing views, mouth-watering food and a relaxed atmosphere, not to mention the amazing AFRICANX Vibe. Whether a seasoned trail runner or newcomer to the sport, there is an event for you. Enter early and prepare to experience trail running at its best when you \u2018Let Nature Give You A Run For Your Money\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe love the association with health, fitness and nature,\u201d says Michelle Lillico, THIRSTI Head of Marketing. \u201cEach THIRSTI AFRICANX TRAILRUN event delivers an enjoyable and rewarding event atmosphere in the most scenic of settings. We can\u2019t wait to be part of the action again and look forward to keeping runners hydrated with our natural spring water and ISOFIT+ Sport Drinks.\u201d<\/p>\n
