Welcome to the 2nd edition of this Trail Fund Project challenge!
why should I take part?
Volunteer groups across South Africa do a lot of great work maintaining trails and conservation infrastructure. Without their dedication and commitment, ordinary trail runners, walkers and mountain bikers wouldn't be able to enjoy our public parks and reserves nearly as much.
Trail Fund Project events offer a fun way of exploring our trails and reinvesting in them directly by empowering the volunteer groups that have a passion and drive to maintain them.
how the event works
1. A public park and its associated volunteer group are selected.
+
2. A Strava segment route is mapped in the park.
3. You buy a ticket and get the segment details, route GPX and digital map, plus info on the volunteer group.
40c of every R1 from ticket sales is set aside for the volunteer group
4. Self-navigate the route segment with your watch and/or phone on your chosen race day, enjoying our parks while you do ;)
5. The fastest woman and man are announced after the final race day, and the donation proceeds are handed over to the volunteer group.
Prizes are awarded to:
1. Fastest Lady
2. Fastest Man
3. Lucky draw for all participants
4. Lucky draw for all teams
You have to be a member of the Forge Strava club to qualify for prizes.
