There are a few big events happening annually during the December holidays in Stilbaai, like Touchies that is now a tournament along the Cape coast after it originated in Stilbaai in 1978 and always takes place on the 26th of December. The most gruelling inflatable boat race in the world, the five-day Trans Agulhas, starts on 28 December in Plettenberg Bay and finishes 5 days later in the Strand after competing teams overnight in Stilbaai on the 29th Dec. after the second leg of this race.
Then there is Stilbaai’s very own NSRI 10km race annually organised by Nico Steenekamp. The event is always scheduled for the 31st of December to end off the year and start the new year on a trot.
This scenic 10km route takes runners and walkers from tarred roads to dirt roads to hiking trails through the most scenic parts of Stilbaai. The funds go to Stilbaai’s NSRI Station 31 that is an extremely important volunteer organisation in Stilbaai.
Participants can enter for the event the day before, on 30 Dec. at the NSRI at the harbour and from 5:30 on the morning before the event starts at 7:00.
For more information about the NSRI 10km, contact Nico at 083 264 3071.
