Last chance for Cell C AfricanX Trailrun pre-race tips 

“Let Nature Give You A Run For Your Money”

The third and final Cell C AfricanX Training Run will start at 07:00 at Pipe Track (Cape Town) this coming Saturday, 21 January 2017.

According to Dawid Visser, ASICS FrontRunner, Pipe Track will expose runners to more technical terrain.  “Pipe Track and the contour on the front face of the mountain are a bit more rocky and uneven.  This will give runners a true reflection of what to expect from parts of the AfricanX route.  This training run route will include flowing, rocky trails with spectacular scenery of Cape Town and Camps Bay.  At our previous training run we were asked questions pertaining to nutrition, training and gear.  These topics can be discussed with any of our ASICS FrontRunners on Saturday.” 

“Remember to bring water and/or a hydration drink, food (gels/bars) and sunscreen,” continues Visser.  “This is the ideal time to test your gear for race day.  Load your hydration pack and test any and all new gear.”

The AfricanX Training Run is free of charge and open to all trail runners that are able to run at least 15km on the road.  This will make the training run more enjoyable.
