\u201cLet Nature Give You A Run For Your Money\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Trail runners can look forward to experiencing trail running at its best this coming Saturday 17 September 2022 when the THIRSTI AFRICANX TRAILRUN 1-Day XPERIENCE <\/strong>returns to the picturesque Paul Cluver Wine Estate in Grabouw.<\/p>\n

The 1-Day XPERIENCE is the perfect introduction to the THIRSTI AFRICANX TRAILRUN. Taking the format of an \u201cindividual entry\u201d event (not teams of two), runners can look forward to exclusive access to world class trails, combined with spectacular views, mouth-watering food, a relaxed atmosphere, and great vibe!<\/p>\n

\u201cOur team has been working round the clock to ensure that trail runners will be treated to a fantastic on route experience like no other at the THIRSTI AFRICANX TRAILRUN 1-Day XPERIENCE this coming Saturday,\u201d says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports and founder of the Event. \u201cWe are happy to announce that entries are still open but will be closing soon. There are four distances to choose from (6km, 12km, 24km and 42km) making this the perfect event for trail runners of all fitness levels and experience. Enter now to secure your spot on the start line and prepare to \u2018Let Nature Give You A Run For Your Money\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIrrespective of the distance entered, all trail runners are guaranteed to have a jol on route,\u201d says Alfred Thorpe, THIRSTI AFRICANX TRAILRUN Route Manager. \u201cThe 6km is family friendly and will mainly feature farm roads with some easy single track. The 12km is also an entry level route, with a total ascent of 250m. Expect some climbing, but nothing too hectic. The 24km route will be on a par with the routes of the THIRSTI AFRICANX TRAILRUN 3-Day STAGE RACE. Expect a good mixture of technical sections, climbs, farm roads and jeep tracks with a total elevation that ranges between 600 \u2013 800m. The 42km route is for the more hardcore mountain runner. The route is challenging, but doable and will boast a total elevation of 1200 \u2013 1500m. My advice to all entrants is to ensure that you have the correct kit on you. Elgin has its own unique weather, so be prepared for anything. One thing is for sure, you will experience trail running at its best at the THIRSTI AFRICANX TRAILRUN 1-Day XPERIENCE<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n
