The inaugural MaxiRace Interschools Trail Running Championships will take place at the K-Way MaxiRace Cape Winelands, presented by Banhoek Chilli Oil, Yenn Health and On Shoes on Sunday 2 October.
The race, which will take place at the Maxi Vagabond Race Village at Hoërskool Stellenbosch as part of the annual MaxiRace Cape Winelands event, will be a 7 km route with five different categories from which runners can choose.
The runners will be placed in either the senior (under-19) or junior (under-15) age categories and will be able to run as a girls’ team of four, a boys’ team of four, a mixed team of four (two boys and two girls), solo girls or solo boys.
“We strongly believe in growing the sport of trail running among the youth, especially as South Africa has a well-established history of producing some of the best trail runners in the world,” said race director Andri Stander.
“Last year we had many youngsters in our shorter routes who all asked to please do something specifically for the school kids, so here we are!”
The race will start at 08:30 with registration beforehand, between 07:00 and 08:00.
