Trail runners get a taste of Hermanus

Writer: Hedda Mittner.

Local chiropractor Chad Gordon, who is also an avid trail runner and mountain biker, recently hosted a group of trail runners from Cape Town and made sure they enjoyed a weekend they would not soon forget.

“They loved it so much that they will be returning in two weeks’ time with an even bigger group,” says Chad, adding that with so many events having been cancelled due to the Coronavirus pandemic, many trail runners and mountain bikers are looking for new experiences in scenic venues outside the city.

The group of about 43 trail runners, many of whom had not been to Hermanus before, arrived on Friday afternoon and were accommodated in the Whale Coast Hotel. “I met them there and briefed them on the weekend’s itinerary, which included a short and a longer run on both the Saturday and Sunday,” says Chad. “I wanted them to have not only a great running experience but also to enjoy the natural beauty of Hermanus.”
