Dragonfly Tri
The Oak Valley Extreme Trail Run offers trail runners an opportunity once a year to run on the Oak Valley trails that are otherwise exclusively for mountain bikes. Located in the picturesque Elgin Valley, known for its orchards, vineyards and undulating countryside, participants get to immerse themselves in the heart of the Cape Floral Kingdom and Groenland mountains.
This event marks the first and only time in the year that these trails will be closed for mountain bikers and exclusively opened for trail runners, making the Oak Valley Extreme a standout annual event in the region.
The Oak Valley Extreme is a 
event.
Venue
