Join us for our third 2-day trail run/walk at Affi Lande Boutique Guest Farm - Fouriesburg in the Free State from 26- 27 October 2024.
There will be various distance options available and some of them even doggy friendly!
So come and join us for our 4th pet friendly stage run!
The theme for this years' race is PIRATES & SAILORS!
The weekend will be filled with lots of trail running options, food, drinks, games and music to keep everyone entertained.
Saturday evening will be the official PIRATES & SAILORS Themed Party so make sure to join us for this great night as well.
Please book at the venue to attend this party @ 084 838 4110 (Adri)
There will be prizes for Best Dressed, so let the planning begin.
Online entries for the 2-day trail run, up until 13 September 2024, will receive a special event item. Online entries close on 14 October 2024.
All entrants will receive a very specifically designed challenge medal
at the end of the two days.
The top 3 overall male and female finishers for each of the 3 challenges will also receive special medal during the awards ceremony on Sunday.
These 3 finishers will be determined based on the results of the 1st and 2nd day times. Single day entrants do not qualify for these medals.
There will be 3 different challenges to choose from of which two will be pet friendly.
The main venue for the race is at Affi Lande Boutique Guest Farm (which is the starting point each day of the race) as well as the Meiringskloof Nature Park, right next door, which has 23 campsites and 11 chalets to choose from.
We have made arrangements at various accommodation venues, of which some are pet friendly within Fouriesburg where you can book your stay for this weekend.
