But wait – there’s more! The Mountain Biking and Trail Running events, set to take place on the 4th and 5th of December respectively, are sure to boast some of the most awe-inspiring views of the picturesque landscape of the Garden Route.
“The George Municipality is delighted to support this important and exciting event and I encourage all role-players in the George economic community to get behind this initiative,” says Portfolio Councillor for Finance and Strategic Services, Dirk Wessels.
“Working with Heyneke Meyer is a delight and we remain committed to our cause in identifying new events in order to stimulate and develop the George economy “
Meyer reiterates, “I am grateful for the support from the George Municipality and that of the George community! One of the elements I’m most looking forward to is how the local community will benefit from George Tens. Like many local tourism industries, they’ve been hard-hit by lockdown and we’re optimistic that this beautiful town and the surrounding areas will benefit greatly.”
