 We bring you this event at the absolutely gorgeous, exclusive Blades Hotel (www.theblades.co.za) on the banks of the Roodeplaat dam. The trails will take trail runners into beautiful and previously unexplored sections of the Roodeplaat Nature Reserve while family, friends and spectators relax on the lovely restaurant deck at The Blades to watch the runners taking on the floating bridge across the river to get to the finish line. Fun, fun, fun!  The restaurant and wooden deck, both over-looking the dam, provides the perfect setting to sample a champagne cocktail or just relax on the woven couches while enjoy a delicious brunch after the race with family and friends.
