Organiser
Stillwater Sports Management
The most punishingly picturesque mountain terrain of the Cape Winelands will host South Africa’s premium 3-day trail running event in its 10th year.
Challenging each runner to their core as the trails of variety will put teamwork and self-endurance to the test. Planning, strategy and digging deep are words our AfricanX Warriors strive on!
Nicknamed the “Beauty and a Beast” the AfricanX will be the ultimate journey of defiance complemented by the most mesmerising, untouched grandeur South Africa has to offer.
Not for the faint hearted, but for the brave…
Do you have it?
Born in 2009, the event has become an iconic and must-do for all trail runners. From a modest 120 teams in the inaugural event, the AfricanX has grown rapidly and today capped at 350 teams of two runners. After spending 9 fantastic years exploring the beauties and beasts of Kleinmond and the historic Houw Hoek Inn, runners will be taken on a completely new adventure for the 10th year celebration of this prestigious 3 day staged trail run. Join us in the Cape Winelands at our new race village, Boschendal, to celebrate the AfricanX, to celebrate personal achievements, to celebrate each other and to make new memories finding the 2018 beauties and beasts running the unspoilt new trails!
