76km offroad Trail Run (Addo Elephant Trail Run), the next weekend.

Trans Baviaans

 

And probably lots of other races in the year.

Not to derail the thread but I reckon you could put together a beast of a year - competing(granted it is MTB heavy), only events in SA and one a month. One will be properly broke and broken I reckon:

 

Jan - Atta

Feb - Tankwa

Mar - Epic

Apr - IMSA

May - 36One

Jun - Durban 70.3

Jul - Around the Pot

Aug - Transbaviaans x 2

Sep - Pioneer

Oct - Berg & Bush / Dryland Traverse

Nov - Wines2Wales

Dec - Munga
