Nippers Pre-School Classic – Sunday 19 October 2025

Get ready for a Spooktacular day of fitness and fun at the Nippers Classic!
 
Join us on Sunday 19th October for an epic MTB Ride, Trail Run, or Walk.

Dress up in your best Halloween costume – there’ll be plenty of lucky draw prizes!

When you have completed your challenge, you can look forward to hot showers, a bike wash, plenty of delicious food and beverages and great music at the race village. You can sit under the shade of trees or umbrellas and chat about the experiences you had on the day.
 
Every participant has the chance to win the most incredible lucky draw prizes that have been donated by various businesses in KZN. 
 
The Nippers Classic offers a variety of events for both the MTB and Trail running enthusiasts, from the young to the old. Have a look at our Route Descriptions:
 
40km MTB (Intermediate) – You are going to love this route. It has a bit of everything. Open wide smooth roads, hills, single track, technical, flat open sections, fast sections, downhills and more. The route goes through stunning scenery, grasslands, indigenous forests, timber plantations, sugar cane fields with many bridges over wetlands and streams. 
 
20km MTB and 18km Trail Run (Intermediate) – this route is always popular and very enjoyable, a little bit of everything. Beautiful indigenous forests, grasslands, timber plantations, 2 dams along route and some incredible scenery. There is a fair share of single track that will test your skills too. This route is very popular.
 
8km Trail Run and 5km Walk (Easy, some fitness is required) – Both these routes follow the same route as the 20 and 18km routes but turn back earlier. You will enjoy stunning views and a few hills along the way, but you are rewarded with long flat sections, a beautiful dam, and a Sawtooth Oak Forest. This is a fun route on manicured trails.
 
10km MTB (2x5km laps – Easy) – This route is for the youngsters, the old, the beginners or those with off-road pram to push. Very forgiving but still with lots of beautiful scenery to see. The 5km loops around the race village and gives you the opportunity to continue or pull out if you have had enough at the 5km mark. We suggest the very young are escorted by their parents on this route. It is a perfect test for those looking forward to riding MTBs in the future.
 
Whether you are a racing snake or just a beginner, we will have the trail for you.
 

Bring the whole family.  U6’s ride/run for free.  See you there!

AGT Eston Classic (aka Xmas Classic)

Sun 04 Jun 2023 @ Virginia Trails, KwaZulu-Natal

The AGT Eston Classic (or the AGT Xmas Classic as it was before the weather gods intervened) has always been one of the most enjoyable events on the trail running and MTB calendar. Riding and running through the beautiful Virginia Trails with family and friends makes this event a perfect way to get jolly in June with your riding and running buddies.

Dress up in festive gear (just make sure you wear a helmet if you are MTB rider), race your kids, chill with your significant other, or just enjoy a gentle outing with mates … the options are limitless for a morning of festive fun.

The low entry fees are virtually a Christmas present in June to you, and U6s can even enter some events for free … and it is a fundraising event so your entry really will be giving a belated Christmas present to the Nippers Pre-School in Eston.

  • 8km Trail Run & 18km Trail Run
  • 6km Walk
  • 10km MTB, 20km MTB and 40km MTB
