The organisers of South Africa’s premium three-day stage race, the Thirsti AfricanX Trailrun, are calling on all trail runners to nominate three teams (six runners) that would love to take part in the 2022 edition of the race from Saturday 19 to Monday 21 March.
“We realise that the Thirsti AfricanX Trailrun 3-Day Stage Race is a bucket list for so many runners, not all of whom are able to afford the entry fee due to budgetary constraints,” says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports and Founder of the Event.
“In 2022 we would like to make a dream come true for six runners (that’s three teams) by offering them a complimentary entry into the event. Valued at R9 200 per team, the entries include dinner and tented accommodation at the Houw Hoek Hotel (Western Cape). To keep it fair, the runners/teams will be selected through a nomination process.”
“We therefore need the help of the trail running community,” continues Meyer. “The nomination process will run from 14 to 21 February. The three winning teams will be announced on Wednesday 23 February, giving the runners just under a month to train together in preparation for the 2022 event. We are excited to welcome six new runners to the Thirsti AfricanX family and can’t wait for them to share their experience with us.”
