DESCRIPTION:This exciting race\, the Steam Train Challenge\, is built on the tried and tested concept of man vs machine\, but is unique as it involves running and mountain biking.   \nThe race will take participants over a distance of approximately 90km’s\, through the picturesque scenery between the towns of Wellington and Ceres. \nThere are two participation options: \nRELAY RACE: Teams of six (three running and three cycling).

SUMMARY:Buco Grahamstown To Sea (G2C)
DESCRIPTION:The first few kilometers of the Grahamstown to Sea include a climb up Mountain Drive from Grahamstown industrial area. There is a rocky single track down from the Toposcope which can be a bit hair raising for some. The decent down the valley on the Southwell road is steep but it is tarred. It is important to keep left and keep a slow pace in the blind corners. The rest of the route is on country road. It is mostly a lazy downhill but does include a couple of uphills. A short single track section takes the bikes off the country road and into the back of Rosehill Mall\, Port Alfred. A total of 58 km.No post_id and/or template

SUMMARY:Leopard Crawl MTB & Trail Run
DESCRIPTION:Entries close 28 January 2018 at 23:00. \nThe Leopard Crawl MTB is a unique one day event\, taking place in the spectacular Little Karoo for the 15th time\, on 03 February 2018. The 12.5km trail run is a new asset to the event. \nNot only do riders and runners get a close up view of working ostrich farms\, but also get the opportunity to enter the training area of the Infantry School. This brings back good memories for many people who underwent training here. \nThe entries increase every year and the reason for that is because this is an event for the whole family. The Leopard Crawl caters for all levels of fitness from the not fit at all to the serious rider. \nThe Leopard Crawl is well known for being one of the best organized one day events in the Little Karoo with brilliant scenery and water points. \nThe 72 km (without Gongani’s Kop) is the route for the rider that loves a challenge. Almost 40 km of this event takes place in the training area of the Infantry School. Almost 80% of this is Jeep track\, crossing rifle shooting ranges\, mortar practice areas and beautiful surroundings. \nThe 32 km outside the Infantry School goes through farmlands and you will pass historical farms like Greylands\, De Zeekoe\, Safari and the Ostrich Palace\, Welgeluk. \nThere are three marvellous water points on the 72 km. The first at 26 km\, second at 47 km and the last at 59 km. \nThe 45 km route also goes through the training area of the Infantry School and joins the 72 km about 8 km before the second water point at Greylands. From there they follow the same route. \nThe 18 km is an easy route for the beginner. It joins the 72 km and 45 km at the last water point about 13 km before the end. \nEden XCM Series \nAll the MTB events form part of the Eden XCM Series and give riders the opportunity to score points early in the year. \nThe 12.5km Trail Run will give runners the best of both single track and jeep track with two water points every 4km. A camelback is not compulsory but highly recommended. Only 200 runners will be allowed to enter. \nFor the family there is a 13 km and 5 km fun ride as well as a 5 km walk. \nAt the end there is a Carnival Atmosphere awaiting the riders\, with food stalls and shade under the trees. \nThe Leopard Crawl is a family event for the weekend. Oudtshoorn has a lot of tourist attractions like the Cango Caves\, Ostrich Farms and the Cango Wildlife Ranch. No post_id and/or template
