Calling all trail running enthusiasts.
The action-packed Puma Trail Run heads to Buffelspoort Dam (North West Province) this coming weekend.
Taking place on Sunday, 25 January, entrants can choose between a challenging 12km and less daunting 6km route.
Track and field runner Edwin Sesipi claimed gold at his trail running debut when he took on the 12km race in 2014.
“I really enjoyed the event. The course was nice, but tough,” said Sesipi.
Leilani Scheffer has secured the top spot on the podium in the women’s 12km race for the past two years.
“Coming from Rustenburg, we only get to run against club runners, where at the Puma Trail Run we get the opportunity to compete against city runners as well. The event is well organised and there is a very nice vibe with good runners taking part,” says Scheffer.
Forming part of the action of South Africa’s largest off road triathlon, the Totalsports XTERRA presented by REHIDRAT SPORT, the PUMA Trail Run incorporates the XTERRA trail run routes.
