Get your outdoor gear ready to hit the trails near Stellenbosch, with two opportunities to get on the single track on this historic wine farm in July.

The eighth Mid-Year Trail Run takes place on Sunday 23 July, as part of the Sportsmans Warehouse Trail Run series by Dirtopia, with lots of beautiful green single-track sections in the forest on Muratie Wine Farm’s trail network.

Trail designer Meurant Botha has two route options planned, where both the 11 km and 6 km distances include forest trails, wineland views and vineyard sections, that will give runners an outdoor adventure they won’t soon forget!

Dirtopia Trail Centre offers the perfect start/finish location with shower facilities and trail essentials in the shop, while runners that have pre-entered will receive a PVM energy bar/gel at registration.

Refreshment station on route and at the finish line, where runners can also collect the finishers medal. Prizes for the winners and lucky draws include Sportsmans Warehouse vouchers with a total value of R2 000, Falke socks and of course Muratie’s top wines!

The estate is famous for its warm hospitality and rich history as well as its welcoming cellar & Farm kitchen with fireplaces.

To enter, visit www.entryninja.com or see the info on www.dirtopia.co.za. . Intermediate-to-advanced mountain bikers must ensure they enter for the Muratie Mountain Series soonest, as only pre-entries are taken for this limited event that takes place on Sunday 30 July.

Here you will enjoy riding single-track, as 40 km of the total 52 km route have Dirtopia’s signature trail riding. Although there will be bail-out options, you need to be fit to cover 1 550 m of climbing on trails that are not normally open to public!

Ebikes have their own category too, while the first rider in the Masters (50+ age) category is rewarded with a product hamper. Overall analogue winners who have completed the full route and cross the line in first place, male and female, can compete for cash prizes.
