Delheim MTB & Trail Run Event in Stellenbosch

Bring your family and get yourselves ready for the annual Delheim MTB & Trail Run event at the Delheim wine farm, near Stellenbosch. Join in for a day of mountain biking and trail running on Sunday 20 November 2011.

The annual Delheim MTB & Trail Run event is the single day of the year that trail runners and mountain bikers can access the vineyards and surrounds of the scenic farm, traversing a cross-section of the Greater Simonsberg Conservancy.

On offer on the route are panoramic views as far as Table Mountain, challenging single-track biking trails on a 12km route, this can be attempted twice to form a 24km route and a less technical loop of 7km for social bikers and families – both tracks being open to trail runners too.

The day will start at 08h30 at the Delheim farm on the Knorhoek Road, off the R44 near Stellenbosch. Prizes for category winners and lucky draws are on offer from Delheim estate, breakfast on-the-go can be bought at registration and lunch at the restaurant subject to bookings and availability.

A donation will be given in support of the Anna Foundation; a non-profit group for children living on farms. Among other initiatives, the foundation introduces underprivileged children to various sports, including mountain biking. Use of the equipment is incentivised (no read, no ride!) to encourage scholastic achievement.
