TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS - It's Tee Shirt order time again!

Hi Trailers,

Where did 2018 go? We're almost at the end, with only 10 more sorties to go before our final run and annual picnic! We thought that those of you that have been running fairly regularly this year may be in need of a fresh tee shirt to pop under the Xmas tree and now is the time to order. 

The tee shirt protocol 

The all-comers tee shirt is white with green printing. This is available to anybody who has run with us. 25 sorties earns you the right to wear a red tee shirt; 50 sorties a green one, 75 a blue and 100 a black. There are variations for the over-achievers who are up in the hundreds. Check the Runner's Log on the Blog to see what you are likely to achieve over the next few weeks. You may order your upcoming recognition colour now, but you will only be presented with it when you have actually done the graft!

Please see the attached order form for further details about sleeve style and gender cuts.

CLOSING DATE FOR ORDERS IS 19th OCTOBER!

Regards.

Peter, Gae, Liz & Lorraine

Greetings Trailers

This week we return to the Republic of Hout Bay for a route with a mixture of trail and road.

Route details

Meet at the parking by Vida e Caffe at the bottom of Chappies.  

We warm up with a run up the road to the start of the trail at East Fort. The lungs get working heading up to the contour path and then we hang a right towards Blackburn Ravine.  Following the single track we are treated to magnificent views (weather permitting) across the bay.

At approximately 6km we start descending and at the trail intersection hang right to head down to Chapmans Peak drive, popping out by the "ticket checker".  From here we have a leg stretching run on the tar back to our cars.

Please remember this a pack run, and with the recent reported incidents its even more important that we look out for each other.  

Rendezvous and Start Time

RV in the parking area 06:50 ready to start at 07:00.

Terrain and Distance

A mix of jeep track, single track and tar.  

Distance: +- 12 kms taking about 2h00 - 2h30mins for Medium Group

Fast Group

Will follow a similar route with an extension to be decided on the day.

Relaxed Group to be confirmed.

*Please note adjustments to the route may be made whilst running depending on the group and weather conditions.

Please bring:

A whistle, water, a warm & waterproof/windproof top, space blanket and ICE tag or card.

Unfortunately no dogs.

Hope to see you on Saturday, have a great week!
