Eston MTB appealing to the whole family
The Illovo Eston MTB Challenge provides riders, runners and families with the ideal Sunday out in the KZN Midlands.
AS this year’s Illovo Eston MTB Challenge quickly approaches; organisers have once again gone with the value for money approach offering families a 15 per cent discount on their entry fee for a family of four or more for the popular MTB and trail running event on Sunday, 5 August.
Over the past 16 years the Illovo Eston MTB Challenge has become one of the mainstays on the KwaZulu-Natal racing calendar and despite the sound reputation that the event has, making it an affordable day out is crucial to satisfying riders and runners.
Moving away from the elite riders and runners tearing up the trails through the sugar cane farms and timber plantations, there is an entirely different appeal for those that are out to enjoy a day in the August sunshine.
