The weekend will start with a Twilight Run on Friday 30 April and whether you are a novice or seasoned runner, this is the evening event that you and the family shouldn’t miss – the ideal start to your active weekend in Hermanus.
Sportsmen and women can choose from some of the following events:. The Open Water Swim on 2 May is a must-do event for any open water enthusiast. Brave the Atlantic Ocean with the 2,5 km swim starting at the New Harbour and finishing at the historic Old Harbour as the panoramic Cliff Path offers a perfect bird’s eye view to family, friends and fans. . We all run for very different reasons but there is one thing we all enjoy – the incredible views we get to experience when out on the trails. The Hi-Tec Walker Bay Outdoor Trail Run on 1 May will take you on an adventure up and down the slopes of the internationally known Overberg. . MTB individual races: Participants have the option of either a 2-day stage race or 1-day option. The 1-day option allows for friends with different sporting interests to compromise and challenge each other to the active weekend getaway and the mid-distance route gives newer riders a real taste of what this great sport is about. . This triathlon has become extremely popular over the past couple years. The organisers have seen an increase in individuals challenging themselves to the multi-discipline sport. Since the event sold out the last two years, organisers look forward to another incredibly successful event on 2 May.. Walking starts at the Visitors’ Centre on 1 May at an elevation of just under 100 m, it is a one-hour hike up to the bench and viewpoint at the top of Adder Ladder at an elevation of 300 m, passing through the Boekenhout Forest on the way. It is a further half an hour across the Jeep Track to White Rock, where one can take the left or right paths to Galpin Hut which is a further half-hour away at an elevation of 500 m. It’s well worth the views across the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, Babylonstoren mountain range, Hermanus and Walker Bay.
