Enjoy family fun at G2C finish
Oldenburgia trail suited for all
Get set for a bumper weekend of family fun for the G2C Mountain Bike challenge from Makhanda (Grahamstown) to Port Alfred (the “C”!) on November 6.
This year, organisers the Makana Residents Association have collaborated with Get out and Run, which organises the fabulous Oldenburgia Trail runs.
On Saturday November 5 Oldenburgia events include distances to suit all ages and abilities, from a technical 30km to a 3km that can be walked.
To enter and for more information, visit the Get out and Run website at: https://getoutandrunec. wordpress.com/oldenburgia/.
The start and finish for all Oldenburgia running events and the packet pick-up for the G2C Mountain Bike event (24pm) will all take place at PJ Olivier High School.
At PJ, you can enjoy an allday market with food and drink stalls and fun activities for the children, such as a jumping castle and face painting.
Businesses and organisations are invited to take part in the Corporate Challenge at 2pm, which will see teams of four vying for the Bruce Littledesigned
floating trophy. Funds from this will go directly to LIV Village Makhanda (See https://www.liv-village.com/ communities/liv-lukhanyiso/).
More fun awaits on Sunday at the Port Alfred Country Club finish of the G2C.
The G2C is the Makana Residents Association’s main fundraising event of the year, with 25% of the proceeds going to the Port Alfred SPCA.
Entries and information for the ninth Grahamstown to Sea are available on the website: http://Grahamstown2sea.co.za.
Apart from giving the cyclists an exhilarating downhill finish, the Port Alfred Country Club offers a safe place for friends and families to watch the muddy participants arrive.
There will be a jumping castle for the children, the Spur food truck, a coffee stall and the Country Club bar will be open. DJ Music and Radio Algoa’s Neil Bisseker will provide entertainment.
By bringing these two events together, the MRA hopes to create an annual local sporting festival over the November weekend that has potential to attract visitors for multiple events in the future.
