Durban, meet your Sharks heroes

The family-orientated day includes four MTB races and two trail runs.

FANS of the Cell C Sharks will get a chance to meet many of their heroes up-close-and-personal at the annual STIHL Sharks Trail Adventure at the Summerveld Estate on Sunday 2 December from 7.30am.

The family-orientated day includes four MTB races and two trail runs, all based around the leafy Summerveld equestrian complex, catering for athletes for all abilities, with the serious runners targeting the 18km trail run and the MTB pros keen to win the prestigious 40km STIHL MTB Marathon, won by Andrew Hill last year.

At the other end of the spectrum the iconic mascot of the Cell C Sharks Sharkie will be on hand to start the short and easy Kids Ride at 11am, where parents are encouraged to accompany their youngster from start to finish.

Runners and riders in all the races will be met on the finish line by members of the Cell C Sharks squad, handing out cold drinks to all the finishers and happy to pose for photos, selfies and sign autographs.

The event winds down with live entertainment in the shade of the Summerveld estate, where family members can browse for Christmas gifts at the Shongweni Farmers Market stalls and enjoy a range of food and drink offerings.
