Food and Refreshments

The locals from the district will cater on Saturday throughout the day, and you can indulge in farm-style catering, ice-cold refreshments, and more.

All Visa and Master cards are accepted.

Non-Competitors

This event aims to be a family day with lots of “gees.” Come and relax under the trees while cheering the runners as they cross the finish line.

Bring the kids; there will be a jumping castle and plenty of clean, fresh air to enjoy.

The event is pet friendly. Your pet must be on a leash and controlled at all times.

Event Program

    •    Friday Night: Fully self-catering. We hope to see you relaxing around the bonfire, sharing stories, and having an early night. Tomorrow is going to be a big day!

    •    Saturday: Race day! Registration starts at 5 am, and hopefully, all participants will be back at the race village by 18h00.

    •    Saturday Night: Entertainment and Steak Braai. The combination of music and the gathering of like-minded people around a warm, cracking bonfire is a winning recipe for having a good time and fostering camaraderie.

    •    Steak braai tickets for sale at R100 per person. Contact Jax directly at [email protected] to place your order.

    •    Sunday: Die Wildebees Challenge. Only one race at R50 per person. This short, fun race is an excellent way to finish our trail running festival with a magnificent floating trophy and gift pack for the winner. You can enter on Saturday during the main event and Sunday morning from 07h00 am.

Registration

Registration takes place from 05h00 on Saturday, 21 September 2024 at the Race Village on Alexandria Farm. Please make sure that you give yourself enough time to register before your race starts. However, with a dedicated table for all online entries, registration should go smoothly as you did most of the admin online already – thank you for that!

Time Keeping

Aktief will handle the timekeeping.

The results will be available throughout the day and we will also post the final results on our website.

Prize Giving

Prize giving takes place at 13h00 – as soon as most runners are in.

We are fortunate to have fantastic race partners and prizes this year!
