Eendracht Hotel Vista Trail Run

Eendracht Hotel Vista Trail Run will benefit children’s charities.

Stellenbosch’s magnificent mountains will play host to the 2011 Eendracht Hotel Vista Trail Run on 16 April. The event will be in aid of two children’s charities, namely, the Anna Foundation in Stellenbosch and the President Kruger Orphanage in Reddersburg.

The 2011 Trail Run will consist of a more challenging 12 km trail run and a 5 km fun run ideal for families. The event is organised by the Gereformeerde Kerk Stellenbosch in association with the Stellenbosch Athletics Club. The organisers are expecting at least 1500 entrants for the 2011 event, up 500 from the previous event.
Both routes will start at Coetzenburg Athletics Stadium, run across the sports fields and then turn to the foot of the Stellenbosch Mountain. The Eendracht Hotel Vista Trail Run course winds through fynbos, indigenous bush and eucalyptus and offers magnificent views of Stellenbosch, the Boland, False Bay and Table Mountain. The route’s surfaces differ between technical single tracks, level jeep tracks, a small pavement section, and also include tartan and grass.

The 12km event will start at 07h30, and the family fun run 5 minutes later. Registration will be open from 06h15 on the morning of the event. Entries open on 1 February and close on 12 April 2011. Group entries for schools and athletic clubs must be completed before 5 April.
