Eselfontein mtb & Trailrun festival

2019

*Eselfontein Festival is a charity EVENT! *

Our 2017 & 2018 events, together, has raised R160 000 and was donated to the local old age homes (Huis Maudie Kriel & Ceres Tuiste) and the local schools (Charlie Hofmeyr, Gericke Primary & FD Conradie Primary)

This year it will be Eselfontein’ s 19th annual MTB Festival and, in true spirit, we are once again hosting a 3Day MTB Stage Race. We are also adding more exciting/realistic things  to this year’s Festival:

  1. We are  now CSA sanctioned
  2. In conjunction with Pacer Events we added a proper Trailrun side to the Event-

                                                                           Friday night 10km Trailrun - optional

                                                                           Saturday you have 3 options:

                                                                                                        - A short 7.5km 'fun run'

                                                                                                        - A medium 15 km Trail Run

      - A Long 25km Challenge Run

  1. Ticking off all your options and needs, when entering for your event.
  2. Unfortunately we have to up our Entry Costs for 2019 – Eselfontein Festival is purely a Charity event and after 2018’s event we have realized that we will run into a lost in 2019, if we do not UP our Entry Fee. Your entry Fee is our finances to make this charity event possible – we have 1 small financial sponsor

 

We, the Eselfontein MTB Foundation, would like to welcome you and thank you in advance for participating and supporting our FESTIVAL FOR 2019. We are providing you with a short guide with a little about everything for your convenience and to help you to be prepared for BEING HERE.

WE WILL ALSO SENT OUT THE ENTRY LINKS AS SOON AS THE ENTRIES ARE OPEN!
