After much deliberation organisers of the ProNutro AfricanX Trailrun presented by New Balance in Kleinmond near Hermanus have announced that stage two of this much loved but gruelling three-day stage race will undergo minor reconstruction.
Taking place in Kleinmond the weekend of 6-8 May, participants can look forward to a challenging yet humbling experience.
According to race director Pieter Du Plessis, Race Director, the decision to implement the changes to stage two was taken to ensure a scenic experience on the longest of the three stages (43.3  kilometres).
ÔÇ£The recent fire in Kleinmond destroyed 40% of stage two’s vegetation.┬áCurrently Nature Conservation has closed most of the mid section, as erosion is now a huge problem.┬áAlthough the distance will remain the same, the stage’s climbs will be more spread out along the route before finishing once again in Kleinmond.┬áWe are happy to announce that participants can still look forward to a safe, scenic and enjoyable experience,ÔÇØ says Du Plessis.
The three-day event centres on Kleinmond with all three legs ending in the small coastal resort. Day one features a 23.7km run, day two is the longest at 43.3km and the final day is 21.5km effort.
The event only has room for 250 teams. A limited number of entries are still available however, slots are filling up fast!
