After successful negotiations with relevant authorities, landowners and conservancies, the 2020 MaxiRace South Africa will take place on Saturday December 12 in Stellenbosch.
Due to the current Level 1 curfew restrictions, the 120km route has had to fall away for this year, but the 75km, 40km and 20km routes, which were designed by the team and tested by trail running super-couple, Landie and Christiaan Greyling, will still be run.
“We are very excited to still be able to host this iconic race after all that has taken place this year,” says race director, Ockie van Zyl.
“As athletes ourselves, we are looking forward to getting out on this exquisite course and hope that it will be a great end of year celebration for all who take part.”
“The organisers are really excited for MaxiRace 2020, given everything that happened since Covid-19. MaxiRace 2020 will be a great way to end this year,” says Landie and Christiaan Greyling.
“The 40km option is a brand new route, so runners can look forward to traversing the most beautiful single track in and around Franschhoek and Stellenbosch, including the magnificent Banhoek trails to Bartinney with a rollercoaster downhill towards the finish at Stellenbosch High.”
