Entries open for the tough Iron Crown Trail run, are you ready

Athletes are encouraged to start preparing for the famous Haenertsburg Iron Crown Trail Run that will be held on 9 July in Haenertsburg.

POLOKWANE – Entries are now open for this fifth annual trail run. The day’s event features a 21.1 km strenuous run over rough single track mountain paths, which goes to the summit of the highest mountain in Limpopo being the Iron Crown. There is also a shorter 10 km distance and a 5 km fun run/walk for families and dogs. The scenery on the trail is pristine and spectacular.

The start and finish are on the central market square in the village of Haenertsburg. The Haenertsburg Iron Crown Trail Run is a fundraiser organized by the Rotary Club of Haenertsburg in conjunction with the Ofcolaco Harriers. It is a festive day out for everyone, from the hard core trail runners to the not so adventurous racers, to leisurely strollers and families. Food will be on sale and there will a beer tent. There will be cash prizes for winners in the different categories. Trail runners can purchase a temporary license at the race venue for only R25.

The funds raised during the event will go to ‘Preserve Planet Earth’ projects which aim to protect and promote a sustainable environment, and other community projects.

The details about the race can be found on www.rotaryhaenertsburg.co.za.
