Rave reviews

"Dear Owen and Tamaryn, I did your Trail Series XL yesterday, my second race that you guys organised, after the Winter XL last year. Once again I really appreciated everything about the race. Organisation is excellent, vibe is great, venue is spot on, sponsorship with all the give-aways is massive. I particularly appreciate all the pre-race information that is available with routes profiles, travel descriptions and all else. The only thing I don’t get is why everyone is not running it, because your effort really deserves more support. But for me as a runner, the small field is a bonus – however for you as organisers I wish all the success for the future of these series that they keep growing to a level that satisfies you and ensures the sponsors stay interested. Keep it up, it is much appreciated" - Jörg (CSTS12)

"Hi, Just wanted to congratulate SPUR on their sponsorship of the KZN Trail Series which concluded last weekend in KZN. My 10 year old daughter did especially well and won the Challenge prize for her age category (Peewee) - she was absolutely thrilled to receive her Spur Vouchers. Thank you for supporting children in sport !" - Debbie Haswell (KZNTS11)

"Hi Tamaryn, Just a thank you to you and the team for a great event yesterday in Paarl. You guys are awesome and everytime we attend an event organized by you, we are so impressed with the great organizing and just everything being 100% perfect. We know it takes alot of work to get something like that happening, so well done and thank you. What a pleasure to take part in your events."

"Hi Tamaryn, My boyfriend and I ran the Cape Winter Trail Series Race 1 on Sunday, and as usual, we were extremely impressed with the way that the event was organised. We've run a few events which you guys have organised (Helderberg MC, Cape Winter trail 2010, Cape Summer etc) and we've *always* been very impressed with the race organisation and rejuvenated by the beautiful route which you guys pick. Thanks so much for putting in so much effort into make these events so enjoyable, and we look forward to the next events this weekend!"

- Alicia Nortje (CWTS11)

"...just a quick thank you again to you and your trail series staff. I only started running a year ago. Sort of not by choice :) and very very quickly got bored running the suburban roads in the big smoke.
Then we entered the winter series 2010 and it all did a 180 degree turn. I now cant wait till the weekend so we can head for the hills. We can now easily spend the morning or even day out running the highveld trails - Shot "

"Owen - this is the best CSTS course yet. The climbs were not a joke, but spectacular scenery, awesome single trail through fynbos and a bit of fun with ropes down that forested gully have made this one of my top trail routes."

- Mark Gebhardt (CSTS11 Race 4 Paul Cluver)

“Hey there Owen, Tamaryn and all involved in this year's trail series - FABULOUS!! - This was my third summer series and I have to commend you guys on an awesome event once again. You set the bar high three years ago and have kept it there if not raised it!! The atmosphere is so very relaxed and friendly, the organisation top notch, routes breathtaking and the prizes fantastic. Thank you especially for recognising those who do it for "the love of it". Look forward to seeing you all at the winter series.

Best Regards

Lee-Ann Dawson”

“Hi Owen,

Just a note from my son Ryan and I to say thank you for organizing the 2 great Gauteng series this year. You cannot imagine how motivating it is for the youngsters to be able to get recognition at such events, from the finisher’s medal, to prizes etc. I think you are going to be inundated next year with juniors and younger as word gets out. The events are superbly organized and very professionally run- it’s a pleasure to take part!

Kind Regards,

Paul Gartner.”

“Hi,

Please would you extend my thanks to everybody that was involved in the Gauteng summer trail series that has just ended. I was an absolute blast and the first one that I competed in all events. The Trail Series has now become a permanent fixture on my racing calendar for years to come.

The people and organization has been spectacular, and these things are usually just take for granted.

So thanks Again 

Roger”

“Morning Tamaryn,
