HOEDSPRUIT – The scenic Ambrosia Citrus Estate in Hoedspruit will come alive on Saturday, October 18, when the Mentis Blueberry Dash, a thrilling MTB and trail run event designed for adventurers of all ages and fitness levels, is hosted.

Mountain bikers can test their endurance in the 60 km, 30 km, or 12 km routes, while trail runners can choose between the 15km and 8km runs.

For those who prefer a lighter challenge, the fun run offers 5km and 2.5 km distances, perfect for casual participants and children.

Races kick off early, with the trail run starting at 06:30, followed by the MTB events at 07:00, and the fun run at 08:00.

Entries are online at www.entryninja.com, and participants are encouraged to sign up before October 18, when online entries officially close.

Late entries will be accepted on race day, subject to an additional fee.

As a bonus, the first 100 entrants will each receive a goodie bag worth R150, packed with treats and surprises to kick-start the adventure.

Every finisher will also earn a medal as a token of achievement, while top performers stand a chance to win cash prizes.

Plus, all participants can look forward to exciting lucky draw giveaways throughout the event.

“The Blueberry Dash is a celebration of outdoor fitness, community spirit, and the beautiful Hoedspruit countryside. Whether you are here to push your limits or simply enjoy the ride, it’s an event not to be missed,” the organisers said.
