Featherbed Trail Run 2017

11 July, 2017 @ 05:00 - 17:00

The Featherbed Trail Run presents THE TRAIL PHOENIX RISES!!

It is on. Festival Trail Run goes ahead. Despite the challenges posed by the worst natural disaster in the history of the Garden Route, organisers of the Featherbed Trail Run have announced that thanks to the timely intervention of Bayport Financial Services, the official Trail Run of the Pick n Pay Knysna Oyster Festival will go ahead as scheduled.

Just like the mythological bird – the phoenix – Knysna reemerges from its own ashes –  reborn, renewed, and very much alive.
With a fantastic generous spirit, Bayport Financial Services has come forward to ensure that one of the most beloved events of the Pick n Pay Knysna Oyster Festival goes ahead. Moreover, Bayport’s involvement and generous support from the Pick n Pay Knysna Oyster Festival will ensure that 25% of the entry fees goes to alleviate the suffering of those directly affected by the fires.
Stuart Stone, Chief Executive Officer at Bayport, says that the company was both devastated by the tragedy but at the same time inspired by the care and compassion South Africans showed their fellow citizens affected by the fire. “We have witnessed a national relief effort from all sectors of society and in that spirit we at Bayport feel compelled to support the run and ensure that Knysna and surrounding towns benefit from a successful Oyster Festival that no doubt is an important contributor to the local economy.”

THE FEATHERBED TRAIL RUN  2017  will go into the history books as the BAYPORT PHOENIX RUN 2017.
