A Halloween night trail run and more on the Coast this weekend

Friday, October 27

• Don’t miss the famous Litchi Orchard Night Market from 5pm. You can look forward for local food, drink, live music and festivities. Entry fee is R30 and you can bring along your chairs, blankets and the whole family to support the local traders. Kiddies under 12 pay R20 and under five get in for free.

• Holla Trails presents a ghostly night trail run at 7pm. Round up your friends and create a team of 4 people. The social trail run will be relay style – 2 of you to run first lap and hand over the baton to the next pair of friends to run the final 5km lap. There is a “detour” route of 3km (if 5km is too long or too scary to bare!) – BUT BE WARNED… there will be consequences – BOO!!
