Enter Sharks trail event
Families eye Sharks Trail Adventure fun at the start of the holidays.
AS the school calendar turns to end-of-year exams, many families are looking forward to the holidays, and entries for the Stihl Sharks Trail Adventure at the Summerveld Estate on Sunday 3 December have started picking up.
Timed to coincide with the first weekend of the holidays, the day is geared around families eager to take part in one of the days mountain bikes races or trail runs, and then relax in the historic shady park and enjoy the many attractions on offer.
Originally started as a MTB race, it has expanded to a 40km and a 20km MTB race that changes and evolves each year, a 10km Family Ride, and more recently a popular 18km and 9km trail run.

The day is built around the Cell C Sharks and many members of the squad not committed to the Springboks end-of-year tour will be on hand at the start and finish of the events to meet their fans and help out with medals and water points.
The players will also be involved in arguably the day’s most important event, the short Sharkie Fun Ride where youngsters get to ride their bikes with the Cell C Sharks mascot Sharkie.
Entries are already open through ROAG at www.roag.co.za and online entries close at noon on 29 November. A 15 per cent family discount is available to families that enter four or more entries.
Once the sporting fun is over, families can relax in the famous estate that also houses the province’s top horse racing training centre and enjoy the wide variety of food and drink with live music adds a festive vibe to the occasion.
