McGilvray urges Run the Rivers trail fans not to delay entering
Underberg - As entries pour in for the 2022 Euro Steel Run The
Rivers in partnership with FNB trail runs at the end of January,
enthusiastic supporter of the event Sharlene McGilvray has
urged runners not to delay in securing their spot as the two
events have a strict combined cap of 500 runners.
Once she had closed a sporting chapter of her life as a BMX age
group world champion McGilvray became an enthusiastic paddler
and raced the N3TC Drak Challenge in Underberg before the trail
run was added by the organisers of the Euro Steel Drak Descent
MTB race, the third of the troika of sporting events that make
up the Drak Adventure Weekend.
She has been a regular at the full distance trail run since its
inception and, with a significant carry-over entry from 2021
already taking up the allocation of 500 entries, she says
runners should not procrastinate.
“If you are thinking about doing this run, then don’t think too
long,” she said. “It is the most amazing weekend of trail
running, and the fresh chocolate milk you get at the finish is
the cherry on top!”
McGilvray embodies the ethos popular on the event that is
critically different to the elite racers competing for podium
places at the front of the race.
“It is for everybody – walkers, hikers, you name it. I run and
stop and take literally hundreds of photos over the two days,”
the sprightly 62 year-old said.
She comes back every year because of the mix of great trails,
the mountain scenery, the friendly camaraderie amongst the
entrants and the unique buzz created by the three events held in
Underberg on the same weekend.
“The vibe is unbelievable,” she says. “Being in the mountain in
Underberg just has the most amazing feeling.”
“If you are going to ponder, you might miss out,” she added. “So
just book. You won’t regret it, I promise you.”
“Oh and did I mention the chocolate milk?” she concluded with a
quip.
The Euro Steel Run The Rivers trail run in partnership with FNB
takes place in Underberg on 29 and 30 January 2022. More
