[Odders]

Event Name: Beaulieu MTB And Trail Run Challenge 5 June 2016
When: 5 June 2016
Where: Riversands Farm Village Market, Gauteng
Category: MTB

New venue: Riversands Farm Village Market - loads of new trails and even more fun. This will be the 7th year that Beaulieu Prep will be hosting the Beaulieu MTB and Trail Run Challenge.
This years event includes awesome 2.5 km, 5 km, 15 km, 25 km and 45 km route options which all start at the Riversands Farm Village Market in the Greater Kyalami Conservancy.

 

Also included and now in its second year will be a 12 km and 5 km trail run.

 

The 25 km and 45 km MTB races incorporate a mix bridle trails, jeep track and plenty of new single track.
The 2.5 km, 5 km and 15 km routes meander along the jeep track and single track in and around Riversands Farm and caters for the young and less fit.

 

The 12 km trail run takes athletes into the beautiful Kyalami countryside along river courses, pine and gum tree forests with a few interesting challenges in the mix. The 5km trail run is a fun run and and is easily manageable for less fit and first time trail runners.
Every year we make a huge effort to make this race a truly memorable experience from beginning to end that will hopefully keep you talking for weeks afterwards. For those friends and family members who are not riding or running, there will be loads of entertainment, food, drinks and music at the Riversands Farm VIllage Market during and after the race.

 

OUT REACH
Beaulieu Prep with support from Mix FM is running an outreach programme to collect new and second sports equipment which will be distributed through the 'Pay It Forward' Programme and Isinkwa. Please bring along any new and second hand sports equipment on number collection day or race day and leave it in the collection boxes provided.

 

PS. Arrive early on the 5th June before the race to take advantage of the cappuccinos and egg and bacon rolls on sale.

I read somewhere the 2 mtb distances are separated now without overlapping. Is this true?

[NelAndre]

Looks like fun. I can tell you, Kyalami is NOT flat, no mountains though, but if you wanna go fast you will suffer even if it's only 45kms!

[Chris NewbyFraser]

Fat Fossil and the Turbo Turtle will do the 25 on the tandem. Any other tandem'ers coming along?

There are multiple MTB distances. The two longer MTB distances only overlap 1km from the end
