Kelrn Mtb Classic

MTB and Trail run in aid of child care. Kelrn Vervoer will be hosting the 10th annual Kelrn MTB Classic on 28 October 2023 for the benefit of Child Care.

It will be a fun filled day with the MTB event taking center stage over distances of 13km to 67km. There will also be a 5km and 13km trail run. The day will not only cater for those participating in the MTB event, but there will also be lots of entertainment for the whole family! The event will again coincide with the annual Koeistal Christmas market where an assortment of unique quality, handmade

gifts and artwork will be for sale as well as a tea garden for those who are just looking forwards to a relaxing day. The 2022 event was a huge success with over 500 entries and we would like to thank all involved- especially our sponsors! We would also like to assure everyone that we only intend to build and improve on this success!

KidZone Success: Smiles, Fun, and "Magical Moments"! 🥳

We love seeing the whole family enjoying the Kelrn MTB Classic weekend! This year, the KidZone was an absolute blast, thanks to our fantastic collaboration with Magical Moments.

From face painting to giant games, the kids had a wonderful time playing while the grown-ups were out tackling the trails, or relaxing at the Koeistal Market.

This feature really is a game-changer for parents who want to enjoy the whole weekend! We’re already planning even more fun for the little ones in 2026.
