With Thanks — and Good Luck for Tomorrow, Three Valleys!

We were so honoured to award our Kariega Classic winners with the most beautiful protea bunches from Three Valleys — thank you for adding such heart and meaning to our prize giving. 💐✨

Tomorrow, Three Valleys hosts their Running Wild event — a truly special, family-friendly run set in wild Eastern Cape terrain, all in support of conservation and their incredible sanctuary.

Choose your challenge: ━━ 🏃‍♀️ 5km A family-friendly journey through wild terrain

🌿 11km A spirited challenge for nature lovers

🔥 17km The ultimate test for those who go the extra mile

Each route finishes at a breathtaking vantage point overlooking the sanctuary — where rescued predators roam. As runners catch their breath, they may find the animals watching back… curious about the humans running for their future. 🐾💚

If you’re looking for a meaningful outdoor adventure — this one is truly worth supporting.

Wishing everyone running tomorrow the very best of luck — enjoy every step! 🌸🏃‍♂️
