For the 16th consecutive year, the greater St Francis will be a hub of sporting activity over the festive season. The St Francis Sport Summer Series kicks off with an exciting new event, a coastal trail run between Cape St Francis and Oyster Bay on 19 December 2022.
Other events include swimming, running, paddling, and cycling, and combinations of these disciplines, with the last event on 30 December, an MTB Challenge. Online entries are open on EntryNinja.
The entry fee for the series is only R550, while the entry fee per event is R120 for the Open Category and Under 18’s, and R100 for under 14’s. A late entry fee might be asked on the day at the registration table. Series entrants have access to team events, but teams must make sure all the members are individually entered for the event to receive their unique race numbers. Race numbers can be collected an hour before the race from the registration table.
Short prize giving ceremonies will be held after each event, where the top 3 male and female winners in each category will receive certificates. Full results will be announced on social media. Please note no dogs are allowed at any of the events due to the sensitivity of the areas.
The annual series is organised by St Francis Sport, and sponsored by Custom Construction, Village Square Superspar, Pam Golding Properties, Blue Abyss Breathe, TCS, Seal Point Estates, Chas Everitt and the Cape St Francis Resort. St Francis Sport wants to thank all landowners for the use of their premises: St Francis Field, the St Francis Links, Port St Francis, the Quays, Eskom, Thula Moya, Mostertshoek, Rebels Rus and Seal Point Estates.
