KNYSNA ATHLETICS NEWS - The first Urban X obstacle trail run took place on Sunday 1 November, with about 300 participants tackling 10 obstacles over 3km spread out across Blackwaters River Lodge and Mashie Golf Course.
The event was the first of three Urban X races set to be held at Blackwaters over the course of the next three months, and attracted participants from far and wide, including Hanlie Signorini – global ambassador of the Spartan Race which is one of the world's toughest obstacle course races.
The event was blessed with perfect weather, with not a single cloud in the sky, and a light breeze blowing through the obstacle course to help keep the participants semi-cool.
There were no official places given out on the day, and participants simply took part for the fun and the challenge. "It was so much fun, and the weather was absolutely phenomenal," Signorini said after the race.
