Hi all

Looking forward to the race on Sunday and was wondering if anybody was driving through from or past Hermanus as I am looking to catch a lift? Would be much appreciated.

Goodluck to all

Hi Morne, we're super excited to have you here for your first trail run ever! You can find directions in the above info, or click here for the direct link to download the directions. Once you've turned onto Valley Road off the N2, follow Valley Road 2.7km untill you see the Trail Series Parking signs. Park there and follow the crowd to the starting point. You can't miss us ;) Good luck for your first trail run and let us know how it goes!

Hi guys, thanks for the feedback.  I can understand your disappointment in the cotton T, especially when you are expecting a technical running top - but in fairness the online entry does in fact specify that it is a cotton t-shirt that you are purchasing and not a technical T.  If you have not worn this top, and is in it's original packaging, you are welcome to return it at the next event and upgrade to a technical top and settle the difference.  Please check in with the merchandising person on the day to exchange.  Please note only original packaged T-shirts to be returned, not washed and re-packaged.  Thanks for your understanding and best regards.  Owen Middleton

Thoroughly enjoyed myself, it was my 1st trail ever!!! When do the results get posted?

 

On a slightly less positive note, I was fairly dissapointed when collecting my tshirt which I pre-ordered when entering online, the dissapointment being that it was a cotton T-shirt and not a technical T-shirt, I feel it should of been indicated online that you would be getting a cotton top, and that technical ones would be on sale seperately. In that case i would not of ordered the cotton one, and instead i would of purchased the technical tee on the day. But ja nee, that's water under the bridge.

Thank you for a wonderful event, I am looking forward to the rest :)
