Special thanks goes to Charl O'Niell from Namaqua SA, Matzikama Municipality as well as our other Namaqua athletics club members for their contributions.

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.

Namaqua goes on Safari

The Namaqua athletics club participated in the 2010 Safari Half-Marathon - a marathon that should not be taken on half-heartedly.

The 32-member team laced up their joggers and gathered in Wellington on the 1st of May 2010 for the big day. Four team members received silver, while the rest of the team also completed the Safari Half-Marathon with impressive finishing times. The Namaqua team gained a lot of vital experience that will benefit them in the upcoming Pronutro African Xtrail Run, as well as the Comrades Marathon.

Namaqua Wines was well represented, with their logo displayed proudly and prominently during the 2010 Safari Half-Marathon event. There was even a stand, serving South Africa's favourite boeries and Namaqua Wines!
