I enjoy the challenge of the THIRST AFRICANX TRAILRUN, and I enjoy having fun on the trails. My goal is to win because I would like to motivate youngsters in my community to take part in the sport and I want to be an example to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou definitely don\u2019t want to miss the <strong>THIRSTI AFRICANX TRAILRUN 1-Day XPERIENCE<\/strong>,\u201d says Bala. \u201cYou are guaranteed to have fun from start to finish. I am looking forward to sharing the trails with other trail runners and just having fun on the day. My goal is to finish top 5 in the 24km, but a podium finish would be a bonus. The routes are awesome, the views of the mountains are amazing, and the people are wonderful. Trail runners that have not yet entered the event still have time to do so.
