Paddaman Posted November 3, 2017 Share The rumour is that there is a World Class line up for XTERRA Grabow, and in order to ensure maximum participation they have cut Buffelspoort. But do not worry there are organisers in Pretoria that are already lobbying TSA for the event date to host a new event.

Stevo9119 Posted November 3, 2017 Share There will be a MTB and road Triathlon / Duathlon at cradle moon lodge in Jan 2018. I have done two Duathlon events there this year that was hosted by Redhub and it just got better every time. The MTB and running routs were great.

Kerchak Posted November 3, 2017 Share Nooooooooooo!!!!!!!WTH This is one of my favourite events of the year. By cancelling it, they are not going to convince me to go to Grabow. Wheelsuck and Swim.Bike.Run 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch this spaceGrabouw is packed as it is..can't think they would want to cram more people onto that route.Buffels was also always well attended so no problem with numbers at events?

Wheelsuck Posted November 13, 2017 Share I was quite Bef#k when I read this -Always is a must do for me if it doesnt clash with IMBC and the last two years it hadnt so I thought all is good in the world of Multisport. This I can't fathom the logic- I am not going to pack everything and schlep to Grabouw at a hell of a cost just so they can claim it is the biggest Xterra event on earth while inconveniencing us people from Up North.

MTBc Posted November 24, 2017 Share very bleak when i heard about it. I see there is a road event on the 3rd. The swim is *dam* nice there, but the road ride / run is not gonna be the same. No rock clambering. No rolling through orchards.... Would love to see this event come back or a similar style brought in by a different organizer!

Kerchak Posted October 29, 2018 Share Any possibility for 2019. Could only see Grabouw for 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaBee Posted October 29, 2018 Share Can you actually see something for Grabouw somewhere? I looked last week - and just checked now again - and do not see ANY XTerra events on Stillwater website. Unless somebody else is hosting it now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless somebody else is hosting it now... Interesting, when I google xterra 2019 grabouw I get a result for 23 Feb 2019. But as soon as you click on the link the page is "404 not found" on stillwater's website Strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaBee Posted October 30, 2018 Share Mailed them quickly, since nothing even under "all events". They said that the XTerra dates should be confirmed within the next 2 weeks. This means I'll have to learn to swim... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
