Athletes prove they have the X-factor
Namaqua athletes, Alwyn Maas and Maretha van Zyl, participated in the 2010 Pronutro African Xtrail Run, which took place from the 7th to the 9th of May 2010.
The Pronutro African Xtrail Run offered runners a different route every day, although each race would finish in Kleinmond. These three days of adrenalin driven fun in the great outdoors promised to be revitalising for the mind, body and soul.
Day 1: The race started in Betty's Bay and took runners on a 25 km trail through the picturesque Harold Porter Botanic Gardens towards Kogelberg. Even though this was Maretha's first trail run, the Namaqua Team still finished in 2nd place.
Day 2: The race started in the Kleinmond Caravan Park and took runners on a 42 km trail through the Kogelberg Nature Reserve and back - this route was more technical as there were river crossings, as well as minor rock climbing, en route. Luckily, the Namaqua Team were on top form and finished in 3rd place.
Day 3: The race was cancelled due to weather conditions, but the Namaqua Team still managed to finish 2nd place overall in their category.
Well done, you've made us proud.
