With the first trail running workshop for novices completely sold-out in weeks due to the popularity of the sport, the Sports Science Institute of South Africa, New Balance and CAPESTORM are now bringing you another one. This time aimed at those with some trail-running experience who are considering doing longer distances, tougher courses and perhaps multi-stage trail running events.

The workshop will be held at at 19h30 on Wednesday 5 August 2009 at CAPESTORM's Wynberg Store. Speakers include our very own Ryan Sandes from Cape Town, who won the Gobi and Sahara Desert Marathons and shows enormous talent; Grattan Rippon (National Sales Manager of New Balance), who recently completed the grueling Marathon des Sables and Prof Andrew Bosch of the UCT Exercise Science and Sports Medicine Unit (ESSM), who will tell us all about fuelling ourselves optimally for these challenging events. Training advice and correct gear will also be discussed - and twice Odyssey category winner, Ian Little (Capestorm Marketing Manager), will inform us of some of the key upcoming events in the Western Cape and beyond.

Registration for the workshop kicks off at 19h00. Attendees stand to win excellent prizes from sponsors New Balance, CAPESTORM and the SSISA in the lucky draw. CAPESTORM will be offering a 10% discount on ALL apparel on the night. The workshop fee is R20 per person and a donation will be made to a selected charity. Light snacks and a cash bar will be available at the start. A free wine tasting by master winemaker Pieter Walser will also be a feature of the evening.
