This year marks the 19th edition of the popular Spring Festival, sponsored by Nedbank Namibia in partnership with Cycletec.

Traditionally the event is held on the first Saturday in September to celebrate the arrival of spring.

This year Nedbank and other sponsors are going big, with a N$100 000 lucky draw and new added activities.

Nedbank sponsorship manager Jacky Tjivikua says the event will span three days, starting with a tech seminar this evening.

“Building on the festival theme, Friday night will offer a trail run and MTB ride, with live music as well as a food market presented by Hartlief.

“The official celebration, which takes place on 2 September, normally attracts runners, walkers, mountain bikers, dog lovers, Crossfitters, gymnasts and many other outdoor enthusiasts hitting the popular trails around the Avis Dam.”

She says once participants have completed their courses they have the opportunity to lounge in the sunshine while eating great food and listening to live music performed by local artists.

Frank Bombosch from Cycletec Adventure adds that with the injection of additional funding and support, they are looking forward to bringing participants an elevated experience.

“Once again we would like to thank all the sponsors, Nedbank Namibia as title sponsor, Food Lovers Market (Fruit & Veg), Cycletec and Radio Wave, for partnering with us for 2017. Join us and come make some memories this spring.”

Registration and number pick-up will take place at Cycletec Adventures today between 12:00 and 17:30 and on 1 September between 12:00 and 17:30.
