Michaelis Challenge is coming up

IT’S THAT time of year again – summer – and with the little bit of rain and warmer weather, the surrounding countryside of Vryheid is turning into a luscious green.

It is the perfect time to train on our beautiful trails for our popular event, the McCarthy Inyanga Michaelis Challenge, which will be held on Saturday, November 22, at Bloemveld Dam. This year we have something even more enticing in store, catering for the WHOLE family as well as for the fitter athletes among us.

This year we have a TRUE MULTISPORT EVENT where athletes are encouraged to enter for more than one event on the day. The 20km and 10km trail runs will start early, at 6:30am. The 50km and 20km Mountain bike trails will start at 8:30am and the 350m and 700m swim events will start at 11:00am.

There will also be a 5km FUN RUN and a 10km FUN Mountain bike ride in between these events.

We encourage you to pre-enter for the main events on our website or at the Michaelis School, but you can also come and enter on the day at an increased fee of R20 per event.

Participants in the 5km FUN RUN and the 10km FUN RIDE can enter on the day, without the increased fee.

The boat club will have a food stall and there will be a tuck shop and kids entertainment.
