Cape Multisport Club is presenting a fitness festival this weekend, featuring three distinct events designed to cater to athletes of all ages and abilities at Taaibosch Dam on Phisantekraal farm outside Durbanville.

The sporting weekend kicks off today (Friday 30 January) with the CMC Malaika House Night Run, scheduled to start at 18:00.

The event, with entrance via Spes Bona Road, will offer participants a choice between 5 km and 10 km distances. Entry fees are R100 for Cape Multisport Club members and R120 for non-members.

Night run

The night run promises to provide a unique running experience in the cooler evening temperatures.

The Junior Triathlon tomorrow (Saturday 31 January) will start at 15:00. The competition has been thoughtfully structured into three age categories to ensure fair competition amongst young participants.

The youngest competitors, aged 5 to 7 years, will participate in the “Splashers” category, while children aged 8 to 10 will compete as “Dashers”, and children 11 to 13 years as “Juniors”. The entry fee is also R100 for children of members and R140 for other children.

Mile swim

The sporting festivities will conclude on Sunday 1 February with the Taaibosch Mile Swim, starting at 09:00 at the Taaibosch Camp Site in Durbanville.

This aquatic challenge will offer swimmers three distance options: 500 m, 1 500 m and 3 000 m, allowing participants to choose a challenge appropriate to their swimming ability.

Entry fees are R100 for members and R120 for non-members.

All events are organised by Cape Multisport Club, and interested participants can obtain additional information and complete their entries by visiting the club’s website at www.capemultisportclub.com.

The consecutive scheduling of these three events presents an opportunity for dedicated athletes to participate in a multi-disciplinary sporting challenge, while also offering individual events for those preferring to focus on a single discipline.
