Maxi Race Cape Winelands
MAXIRACE brings you the best in trail night racing!
Introducing the Brand New LEDLENSER DARK RACE SERIES presented by STANLEY, a 3-Part Trail Running Series hosted exclusively in Jonkershoek by MTO TRAILS and BALANCE COFFEE.
Each Race will offer a completely different route and challenge...
DARK RACE #1 - THE ROOIKAT: The Flowing Trail Night Race
DARK RACE #2 - THE BLACK EAGLE: The High Altitude for the Night Time Views
DARK RACE #3 - THE COBRA: The Flat and Fast Trail Race
THIS IS 'THE ROOIKAT'
The Rooikat is a nimble animal that loves to hop through fynbos from rock-to-rock, traversing the dirt single tracks of Jonkershoek. You may embody this animal as you tackle our first race in the Dark Race Series, be it the longer or shorter distance.
A true trail race, The Rooikat will stretch your technical ability just enough. We want to make sure you find your flow and enjoy your way without having to climb too much.
