Runners should plan on running between 2\u00bd to 3 hours and can expect some fantastic single-track sections with technical climbs in between.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAFRICANX ambassador Ashraf Orrie aka Mr O, will lead the group on Sunday,\u201d continues Meyer. \u201cAlthough the route won\u2019t be marked, there will be pacers and pack runners with various pace groups. Look forward to an awesome morning of trail running with the AFRICANX family. Be sure to take lots of photographs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis year sees me coming of age at my 10th running of the AFRICANX TRAILRUN in March,\u201d says Orrie. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t miss it for anything. The event really is a coming together of the AFRICANX family from far and wide. It\u2019s a weekend that\u2019s filled with fun and laughter, good food and entertainment. It\u2019s exactly what you need after a hard day of running on the beautiful trails in Elgin, Grabouw, Houw Hoek and surrounds. I am excited to be leading the AFRICANX Training Run 3 this coming Sunday. Trail runners will get a good idea of what to expect come race weekend. Also be sure to ask lots of questions, that is why we are there.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_45957\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45957\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/southafricatoday.net\/sport\/more-sport\/join-the-africanx-training-run-3-at-constantia-nek-on-sunday\/attachment\/tax3ct62\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-45957\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==\" fifu-lazy=\"1\" fifu-data-sizes=\"auto\" fifu-data-srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.fifu.app\/southafricatoday.net\/aHR0cHM6Ly9zb3V0aGFmcmljYXRvZGF5Lm5ldC9zcG9ydC93cC1jb250ZW50L3VwbG9hZHMvMjAyMy8wMS90YXgzY3Q2Mi5qcGc\/e7debfa8fbf8\/africanx-trailrun.webp?p=45824&amp;w=75&amp;h=0&amp;c=0 75w, https:\/\/wp.fifu.app\/southafricatoday.net\/aHR0cHM6Ly9zb3V0aGFmcmljYXRvZGF5Lm5ldC9zcG9ydC93cC1jb250ZW50L3VwbG9hZHMvMjAyMy8wMS90YXgzY3Q2Mi5qcGc\/c28da6b97c8c\/africanx-trailrun.webp?p=45824&amp;w=100&amp;h=0&amp;c=0 100w, https:\/\/wp.fifu.app\/southafricatoday.net\/aHR0cHM6Ly9zb3V0aGFmcmljYXRvZGF5Lm5ldC9zcG9ydC93cC1jb250ZW50L3VwbG9hZHMvMjAyMy8wMS90YXgzY3Q2Mi5qcGc\/c01ec75b25b7\/africanx-trailrun.webp?p=45824&amp;w=150&amp;h=0&amp;c=0 150w, https:\/\/wp.fifu.app\/southafricatoday.net\/aHR0cHM6Ly9zb3V0aGFmcmljYXRvZGF5Lm5ldC9zcG9ydC93cC1jb250ZW50L3VwbG9hZHMvMjAyMy8wMS90YXgzY3Q2Mi5qcGc\/6d4bb0877b9d\/africanx-trailrun.webp?p=45824&amp;w=240&amp;h=0&amp;c=0 240w, https:\/\/wp.fifu.app\/southafricatoday.net\/aHR0cHM6Ly9zb3V0aGFmcmljYXRvZGF5Lm5ldC9zcG9ydC93cC1jb250ZW50L3VwbG9hZHMvMjAyMy8wMS90YXgzY3Q2Mi5qcGc\/c1839ee1a6a0\/africanx-trailrun.webp?p=45824&amp;w=320&amp;h=0&amp;c=0 320w, https:\/\/wp.fifu.app\/southafricatoday.net\/aHR0cHM6Ly9zb3V0aGFmcmljYXRvZGF5Lm5ldC9zcG9ydC93cC1jb250ZW50L3VwbG9hZHMvMjAyMy8wMS90YXgzY3Q2Mi5qcGc\/5de9d2b37adf\/africanx-trailrun.webp?p=45824&amp;w=500&amp;h=0&amp;c=0 500w, https:\/\/wp.fifu.app\/southafricatoday.net\/aHR0cHM6Ly9zb3V0aGFmcmljYXRvZGF5Lm5ldC9zcG9ydC93cC1jb250ZW50L3VwbG9hZHMvMjAyMy8wMS90YXgzY3Q2Mi5qcGc\/20740181eba2\/africanx-trailrun.webp?p=45824&amp;w=640&amp;h=0&amp;c=0 640w, https:\/\/wp.fifu.app\/southafricatoday.net\/aHR0cHM6Ly9zb3V0aGFmcmljYXRvZGF5Lm5ldC9zcG9ydC93cC1jb250ZW50L3VwbG9hZHMvMjAyMy8wMS90YXgzY3Q2Mi5qcGc\/af8c7f454adc\/africanx-trailrun.webp?p=45824&amp;w=800&amp;h=0&amp;c=0 800w, https:\/\/wp.fifu.app\/southafricatoday.net\/aHR0cHM6Ly9zb3V0aGFmcmljYXRvZGF5Lm5ldC9zcG9ydC93cC1jb250ZW50L3VwbG9hZHMvMjAyMy8wMS90YXgzY3Q2Mi5qcGc\/7f8a3862350c\/africanx-trailrun.webp?p=45824&amp;w=1024&amp;h=0&amp;c=0 1024w, https:\/\/wp.fifu.app\/southafricatoday.net\/aHR0cHM6Ly9zb3V0aGFmcmljYXRvZGF5Lm5ldC9zcG9ydC93cC1jb250ZW50L3VwbG9hZHMvMjAyMy8wMS90YXgzY3Q2Mi5qcGc\/c3d23f395a6c\/africanx-trailrun.webp?p=45824&amp;w=1280&amp;h=0&amp;c=0 1280w, https:\/\/wp.fifu.app\/southafricatoday.net\/aHR0cHM6Ly9zb3V0aGFmcmljYXRvZGF5Lm5ldC9zcG9ydC93cC1jb250ZW50L3VwbG9hZHMvMjAyMy8wMS90YXgzY3Q2Mi5qcGc\/b573a46b39c2\/africanx-trailrun.webp?p=45824&amp;w=1600&amp;h=0&amp;c=0 1600w\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45957\" fifu-data-src=\"https:\/\/wp.fifu.app\/southafricatoday.net\/aHR0cHM6Ly9zb3V0aGFmcmljYXRvZGF5Lm5ldC9zcG9ydC93cC1jb250ZW50L3VwbG9hZHMvMjAyMy8wMS90YXgzY3Q2Mi5qcGc\/401325c6eb71\/africanx-trailrun.webp?p=45824\" alt=\"AFRICANX TRAILRUN\" width=\"696\" height=\"391\" title=\"\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-45957\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">AFRICANX TRAILRUN<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong><u>TRAINING RUN INFORMATION<\/u><\/strong><strong>: AFRICANX Training Run 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"189\"><strong>DATE:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"482\">Sunday 05 February 2023<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"189\"><strong>VENUE:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"482\">Meet at Constantia Nek parking lot<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"189\"><strong>TIME:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"482\">06:30<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"189\"><strong>DISTANCE:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"482\">17.5km<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"189\"><strong>WHAT TO BRING:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"482\">Trail running gear and enough food and hydration for a 17.5km run.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"189\"><strong>SIGN UP:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"482\">https:\/\/www.entryninja.com\/events\/78802-ax-training-run-3\/enter<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>EVENT INFORMATION<\/u><\/strong><strong>:\u00a0 AFRICANX TRAILRUN 3-Day Stage Race<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Launched in 2009, the AFRICANX TRAILRUN 3-Day Stage Race is synonymous with magnificent trails, spectacular views, mouth-watering food, a relaxed atmosphere, great vibe and most importantly, TEAMWORK!
