ScaredShiftless Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 Nice video on Youtube of the Marathon Route.I'm definitely IN! Dogs 1
Rowl Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 Did the trailrun today, the organisation was top notch. Pannekoek and potatoes at the waterpoints, fully stocked and the route was well marked. I imagine the mtb would have been the same?

I imagine the mtb would have been the same?First Trailseeker event I attended in about 7 years, was a good day out and organization was top notch. I like the idea of a fridge magnet instead of a an actual medal. Official Timing was off by about 20s,making me miss my sub 2-hour on the Half Marathon. The organizer kept saying that it is the toughest 40km MTB half marathon in the country. Well it was tough, but he obviously hasn't ridden the Lydenburg event yet, which was much tougher in my opinion. Was still a well balanced route, nice climbing and single-track. I'll be back next year.
ScaredShiftless Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 I did the Marathon yesterday. Lekker route and great organisation by Advendurance, but would LOVE to know what other Hubbers thought about the route.... Difficult? Easy? Technical? Tell all please...
Red Bird Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 I did the Marathon yesterday. Lekker route and great organisation by Advendurance, but would LOVE to know what other Hubbers thought about the route.... Difficult? Easy? Technical? Tell all please...I enjoyed it very much. It was not technical except for the rocky descent. A bit of flowing singletrack made it interesting and fun. There were no long, steep climbs which really helped me save my legs for the last 5km sprint. It felt like I could still ride another 10km... Can’t wait for the next one. ScaredShiftless 1
Brandon P Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) Did the half-marathon on Sat. MC on the start said route will be their most technical ever and possibly most technical in the country... Didn't seem technical, quite a bit of district road and actually think #1 was trickier than #2. Edited June 25, 2018 by Brandon P Vetplant 1
JJDT Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 Also did the half marathon. Was not that bad after the fuss on the start that it was tough and very technical. For me the first 15 Km was somwhat technical but not that bad. After that it was some nice flowing single track and open roads.The youngsters in the half marathon racing for podium spots got lost after a gate that was not opened. They took the positions of about 8 Km to go for final podium spots.

Still a very lekker event.
Red Bird Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 Yes, the MC said the marathon is rated 8/10 on difficulty and endurance. Compared to Sabie or even the Cradle stage race, it was super easy - 5/10. But super fun though ???????? Vetplant 1
Dogs Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 Enjoyable day out with nice trails and district roads. Hardly any bottlenecks and well stocked water tables. Buffels (#1) was more difficult for me. Vetplant 1
