When: 13 August 2017
Where: Lions River Club, Kwazulu-Natal
Category: MTB

On Sunday 13 August the Lions River Club will once again host the popular Marriott Dargle Trails Festival; a day packed with a variety of trail running and MTB events to suit all fitness levels.

 

Following on from the success of previous years, the 6^th Marriott Dargle Trails Festival promises to once again offer some of the best trails in the Midlands area and an exciting family day out. The course is prepped by local landowners and will take participants through natural forest, protea fields, plenty of farmland and offer exquisite, unobstructed views across the Dargle. With the course not usually open to the public, it will be a completely new experience for MTB and trail running enthusiasts. Events promise participants a unique perspective of the Dargle Valley that most will never get to see.

 

The 2016 Festival will include three trail run events (6, 12 and 21kms), two MTB events (6 and 21kms) a social horse outride and a 3km bike ride and dog walk for the whole family. A portion of the proceeds from the bike ride and dog walk will go to the SPCA.

 

Pre-entries for the trail running and MTB events are open on ROAG (www.roag.co.za), with registration for the horse outride and the fun family and dog walk happening on the day.

 

An exciting addition to the 2016 Trails Festival is an opportunity for enthusiastic trail runners and pet owners to have their dogs accompany them on the 6km and 12km routes. The event will also host an exhibition polo match on the grounds at lunch time and besides the many sporting events taking place on the day, there will also be a market, where some of the best Midlands wares will be on offer (amongst other things). A “Kids Corner” (complete with activities and child minders), food tent and bar will also be available.
