Honouring Stellenbosch cycling legends
Following the tragic loss of Meurant Botha and his close friend JP van Zyl, the Muratie Trails Marathon scheduled for 5 October has been cancelled.
In its place, Dirtopia Trail Centre will host a trail celebration weekend at Muratie Wine Estate on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 October from 07:30 to 13:30.
Cyclists, runners, and hikers are invited to enjoy the trails and celebrate the lives of two passionate trail builders who helped shape mountain biking and outdoor culture in South Africa.
- Trails open both days with permits costing R100 MTB, and R75 for hikers/runners
- Guided ride on Sunday 5 October at 08:30
- Donations welcome in support of trail building and maintenance
Funds raised will go toward permanently opening the last piece of single-track built by Meurant, with signage in his honour, while also supporting Dirtopia’s trail maintenance team.
