Event Name: The Richmond Outdoor
When: 11 May 2018 - 13 May 2018
Where: Richmond, NC Show Grounds, Northern Cape
Category: MTB

The Richmond Outdoor was held for the very first time in 2015, and has since grown into a key event on the calendars of outdoor enthusiasts all over South Africa. Held in and around the scenic and historic town of Richmond in the Upper Karoo, the Richmond Outdoor is demanding and unifying, rugged and rustic, competitive and accommodating. The safety and wellbeing of all participants are of paramount importance to the organisers, and all possible measures have been undertaken to ensure this.

 

The Richmond Outdoor is a family-oriented event and provides an outdoor experience to both the race-fit, and those who prefer to just kick back and enjoy the event. Whether you’re biking, running or walking, you’re sure to encounter an abundance of indigenous fauna and flora along the way. Keep an eye out for the Padloper tortoise – that always has right of way – and the kudu, springbok, dassie, baboon and meerkat. Should you look carefully around you, you’ll be sure to see local and migratory birds aplenty. The sheer endlessness of the expanse of the Karoo plains will take your breath away – but fear not, for you will be inhaling the purest oxygen that our country can offer.

 

Visitors and participants are invited to stay in the Richmond Outdoor’s top-quality race village, where tented accommodation will allow you to mingle and experience the firmament at night – and we promise you haven’t seen stars like these before. Come and breathe the unpolluted air, rub shoulders around the fires of a braai, and taste our incomparable and world-famous Karoo lamb. A range of exceptional accommodation is available to participants who prefer to sleep indoors. We are also glad to announce that the Happy Grannies will be available to keep an eye on the kids for the duration of the event, while mom and dad participate.

 

Be active.

Dear participant,

 

After much consideration, we regret to inform you that the Richmond Outdoor will not be taking place from 11 to 13 May 2018.

 

The venue where the event was to be hosted has been struggling with an ongoing sewerage problem, which has become a significant health and safety issue. The sewerage system in the vicinity of the race village requires extensive repairs and upgrades, which will unfortunately not be completed by the date of the event. In the interest of the safety of all participants, we have no other choice, but to cancel the event.

 

The organisers of the Richmond Outdoor apologise profusely.

 

The Richmond Outdoor would like to refund your entry fee in full, and in this regard, we kindly request that you send your banking details to info@richmondoutdoor.co.za at your earliest convenience.

 

Yours in all things active, 
The organisers of the Richmond Outdoor
